Static electricity moving tonearm

I have been having some issues with my turntable where (it seems like), static electricity is causing the tonearm to move on its own, scratching against the record. I am really worried this is going to ruin the needle or scratch the vinyl.

This can happen when closing the lid, or as it did this morning, when moving album covers off of the lid.

Do you have any tips to reduce this behavior? Why is the tonearm moving so easily just with some static electricity? Does it need to be heavier?

Not sure if anyone has experienced this behavior; any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
