FOX 66 News at Ten
A Michigan man whose effort to keep an eye on his community while wearing a Batman outfit landed him in court says he has good intentions.
Mark Wayne Williams tells the Petoskey News-Review (http://bit.ly/T8i0ax) that dressing in costume is his way of saying "it's not up to the government to save us."
State troopers arrested the 33-year-old Sept. 29 because they say he refused to leave them alone while they searched for a driver who fled an accident. Williams was charged with resisting and obstructing police in an investigation.
He is due in court Thursday.
It's not Williams' first brush with the law as the caped crusader. He was arrested last year after police received a report of a man dressed as Batman on the roof of a Petoskey business.
