A Philipsburg man was arrested on Sunday, after he allegedly dressed up like Santa and walked into a man’s home in Snyder Township, Blair County.  Arrested was 30-year-old Dustin Wertz.  The homeowner reportedly found Wertz in his kitchen, dressed as Santa and when spotted said, “HO HO HO.”  Wertz reportedly left the house, but allegedly came back again.  The homeowner was able to describe Wertz’s vehicle to police, who ultimately found him.  Wertz was taken into custody, and reportedly admitted to police that he was wearing the Santa suit, and walked into the man’s home without permission.  Wertz was placed in the Blair County Prison after he was charged with criminal trespassing.  Bail has been set at $20,000.
