Florida deputy dressed as Grinch gives onions to speeding drivers

Col Lou Caputo says he portrays character to call attention to the need to obey speed limits in school zones

Several motorists caught speeding through an elementary school zone on the Florida Keys Overseas Highway received an onion as a reminder to slow down - from a sheriff's deputy dressed as the Grinch.

Col Lou Caputo, a 37-year veteran of the Monroe county sheriff's office, came up with the concept more than 20 years ago. He was back on the streets this Tuesday.
