Guy Arrested For Dressing Up As Joker And Carrying A Sword

Guy Arrested For Dressing Up As Joker And Carrying A Sword

It's not a phase, mom.

You know how you hear about people splashing water on their faces prior to mugshots so it doesn't look hilariously uncomplimentary? Yeah, this guy doesn't play those rules.

In fact, he doesn't look like he plays by anyone's rules, anywhere, ever.

He was arrested in Winchester, Virginia Friday after numerous 911 calls were made to the police complaining of a man dressed as the Joker and carrying a sword.

Far from being some naive teen tearaway, Jeremy Putman - the man behind the face paint - is 31 years of age.

When he was arrested, Putman was charged with wearing a mask, a felony that can result in a year in jail, despite the fact he wasn't wearing a mask, and also ignoring the fact he was carrying a fucking sword.

How does Halloween pan out in Winchester, Virginia? How loaded are their prisons? Holy cow, a lot of questions.

Putman is being held on a $2,000 secured bond.
