'Joker' accused of trying to steal Batman items


Recommended Posts

THREE RIVERS, Michigan (AP) -- Three Rivers police have arrested a man who they say tried to steal posters and other items related to the new Batman movie from a cinema lobby while dressed up as the Joker. :p

Detective Mike Mohney said Monday he expects 20-year-old Spencer Taylor to be charged with larceny and malicious destruction of property.

Taylor is scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 5 in St. Joseph County District Court.

There is no telephone listing under his name in the Three Rivers area.

Mohney says police officers who were dispatched early Sunday to the Three Rivers 6 theater arrived to find employees restraining a man wearing a purple suit, a green wig and face paint in the style of Batman's nemesis in ''The Dark Knight.''

Sounds like he just wanted one of the promotional posters. He should have asked. Most times they just throw them away or let employees have em.

He looks like he would be more of a Scarecrow than Joker....

Haha I thought that right away!

I wonder if the Officer who took the photo remarked "Let's put a smile on that face!"

Haha priceless.
