SEATTLE (AP) — Prosecutors in Seattle have filed no charges, as of yet, against the self-proclaimed Seattle superhero who goes by the name Phoenix Jones.
Jones, whose really name is Benjamin John Francis Fodor, appeared in a city courtroom Thursday morning wearing a charcoal-colored mask and a superhero uniform under a black and gray striped shirt. A court officer asked him to remove the mask and he complied but put it back on after the hearing to speak with reporters. At which point, he dramatically removed it again to reveal his true identity.
He was arrested Sunday after police say he pepper sprayed a group of people downtown as they left a nightclub.
Fodor says he’ll be back out on patrol again Thursday night.
