TROY (WKZO) -- A man who reportedly identified himself as Santa Claus is in the custody of Troy Police.

The man allegedly broke into a home in the one-thousand block of VanCourtland early Sunday morning and was confronted by the homeowner.  When the woman asked who he was, the man said "Santa".  He fled the home but was arrested at a bus stop a short time later.

Police say the man apparently made his way into the home through an unlocked door.
