Salisbury man accused of being a Grinch after reportedly selling stolen presents

Authorities in Wicomico County say they have arrested a real life Grinch, following a theft incident in Salisbury.

The Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office says on December 23, just two days before Christmas, 29-year-old Steven Carey took a brand new, still in the box PlayStation 4, from a bedroom closet inside a Nanticoke Road home, where he was staying.

Investigators say they later found the stole PlayStation 4, at a local pawn shop, with Carey as the person who sold it. The video game system was apparently going to be a Christmas present, before it was taken.

On December 28, a Deputy arrested Carey, and reportedly charged him with burglary 4th degree, and theft less than $1,000. He is now apparently being held at the Wicomico County Detention Center on a $10,000 bond, following an initial appearance.
