Columbus police arrested the culprit behind a bitter cold swing last week.
Elsa, the queen from Disney’s “Frozen,” was placed in handcuffs by officers for causing below-zero temperatures and even colder wind chills.
Jessica Hogan, of The Royals Project, had dressed up as Elsa and turned herself in to officers.
The Royals Project works with a variety of charities that help children in need and has professionals take on the role of children’s favorite movie and comic book characters.
The “arrest” by Columbus police followed a similar staged incident in Illinois earlier that went viral on social media.

Pills found in Capital student’s residence
Capital University Police searched the on-campus residence of a student in late January after another student was hospitalized from taking LSD.
According to a search warrant obtained by The Dispatch, police began investigating after a male student was hospitalized on Jan. 19. The student told detectives he had taken LSD and had gotten the drugs from another student.
The other student had other hallucinogens with him at the time police spoke with him, specifically DMT, another hallucinogen. Non-police employees of the university did an administrative search of the alleged LSD distributor’s residence on campus.
Police also executed a search warrant on the areas of the residence the student had access to and seized seven marijuana brownies and 14 prescription pills, as well as drug paraphernalia.
No charges had been filed in the incident as of Monday, pending the results of lab tests and further investigation.
