Kicker - Letting it go in South Carolina

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Police in Pickens, South Carolina had some fun as they worked throughout the winter storm over the weekend.

They released rare body cam footage of a suspect they thought might be responsible for the storm.

The suspect was identified only as “Elsa.”

Yes, that Elsa. From the Disney film “Frozen.”

The video shows a woman who looked an awful lot like the iconic character—complete with a blue dress and braided blonde hair giving officers a brief foot chase.

But the officers probably should have chosen their words a little more carefully.

AUDIO: Freeze! Freeze!
Come on, guys, let it go!

You heard Elsa telling officers to let it go.

MYRNA BROWN: Over two and a half billion views of that song on YouTube!

REICHARD: The Pickens Police Department posted the video to Facebook to remind drivers to play it safe on area roads this winter.
