SEATTLE — Seattle’s self-style superhero Phoenix Jones wrote on his Facebook page that he was back on patrol Monday night.
He had to wear a backup costume after police seized his black and yellow outfit Sunday when they arrested him for investigation of assault. He is accused of using pepper spray on four people who were dancing after leaving a nightclub.
Jones, whose real name is Benjamin John Francis Fodor, said he was trying to break up a fight when he was attacked.
He spent about seven hours in jail before posting $3,800 bail. Jones is due in court Thursday.
Police spokesman Mark Jamieson said you can’t go around pepper-spraying people because you think they’re fighting.
Jones said he’s the leader of the Rain City Superhero Movement.
