COLERAIN TWP. --- Tired of snowman abuse, Matt Williquette decided to go hi-tech.

Williquette, 26, has a 12-foot inflatable snowman in his Crest Road front yard that has been vandalized three times in the last two weeks.

Tired of having Frosty punctured, Williquette bought a digital video recorder and stuck it in a nearby tree.

He captured video of two men using a screwdriver to punch yet another hole in Frosty. Police used the video to capture them today.

Hamilton County Sheriff’s deputies arrested Robert Snell, of the 2800 block Overdale Drive, Colerain Township, at 11:30 this morning.

Snell was charged with criminal damaging, a second-degree misdemeanor.

Police arrested a second man – Nathaniel Daniels, 18, of the 9000 block of Crusader Drive in Colerain Township, in the afternoon. He also was charged with criminal damaging.

Daniels surrendered to police at 2:45 today. He’s now in the Hamilton County Justice Center.

“I’m very relieved,” said Williquette, a packaging designer for Procter & Gamble.
“People can finally sleep better around here.”

Williquette placed the 12-foot Frosty in his yard as part of his Christmas decorations. He also has in his yard a 6-foot inflatable snow globe, about 30 large candy canes and 4-foot inflatable snowman.

He has no idea why the vandals limited themselves to the largest inflatable decoration.

“The question I have is, 'Why me? And why Frosty?' ” Williquette asked.

“I had more (decorations) to put out there, but with Frosty going down I wasn’t going to chance it.”

Williquette placed white masking tape over the first two punctures to get Frosty inflated again.

Sick of seeing a deflated Frosty, Williquette used a video camera and bought new computer software to set a trap. The camera operated essentially the same as a motion detector, recording when something moved around it

“Me sitting in front of the window every night wasn’t going to get it,” Williquette said.

After he heard a commotion last night and saw Frosty deflated, Williquette called police.

“The investigation continues to snowball; any future developments will be reported,” the sheriff’s office reported.

Snell’s name came to police from a tipster who’d seen the video.

With a bit of luck, Frosty will return to duty tonight.

“I just got to find some black duct tape to patch up his little charcoal area in his stomach and he’ll be back up and running.” Williquette said.
