Check out this Joker!

By Justin Brown ( Contact ) July 29, 2008

We all know I love 'Strange & Stupid News' (weekdays at 4:10pm). Here's a story that is both!

THREE RIVERS, Mich. (AP) — Police in Michigan 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.

Detective Mike Mohney said Monday 20-year-old Spencer Taylor of Three Rivers has been booked for investigation of 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 officers who were dispatched early Sunday to the 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."

What was this guy thinking? Does he really think that dressing up like the "Joker" would be cool? Of course, look at the extra press he's gotten and he even landed on my Blog. So what do I know. I bet his parents are real proud! I know I sure would be. NOT!
