The 9 Worst Cosplay Criminals of All-Time [Cosplay]

Dr. Raymond Adamcik arrested as Captain America with burrito in pants Source

“It
could have been a ski mask. It could have been a bandanna. It could
have been a hoodie. It just happens to be a Gumby costume,” San Diego
police Detective Gary Hassen said.

Some criminals wear a mask, but some decide to cosplay.

What’s cosplay?  Cosplay , short for “costume play,” is where people dress up as their favorite characters for conventions or fun.

Just to clarify, I’m not talking about guys like The Dark Knight Rises
theater shooter. That man is a sick individual.

Some are funny, some are silly and some are scary, but here they are.

#9 – Bradford Batman

---

The Cosplay

Stan Worby from Bradford, England turned another man, Daniel
Frayne, in to police for cashing stolen checks. Since he looked like Batman, he was hailed as a real life “Caped
Crusader.” 

He humbly  said, “I’m no superhero. I eat kebabs. So for this to happen the first time I dress
up, I just can’t believe it.”

Then Things Went Horribly Wrong

It turns out, the two were
friends and Frayne asked for a ride to the police station. Worby was
just a 39-year old delivery guy returning from a soccer (football) game.

Then, it got worse.

The police later stopped Frayne and the “Bradford Batman” for trespassing
in a garage and stealing £770 ($1,182) worth of power
tools.

What was once an inspirational story of one man making a difference,
turned into a story about two bums committing petty theft.

The next guy actually dressed like a villain.

#8 – Applebee’s Joker

---

The Cosplay

In upstate new York, a
guy walks into an Applebee’s restaurant
looking like Joker from The Dark Knight. It’s not October
or anything, so people are probably getting a kick out of it. How fun
is that?

Then Things Went Horribly Wrong

24-year-old Aaron Chase was drunk as a skunk, had no money and started
harassing people. So, they call the cops to kick the “Clown Prince of
Crime” out for trying to order an “Appletini.”

I guess the joke was on him.

Speaking of jokes, Captain America told a pretty bad joke…

#7 – Grabby Captain America

---

The Cosplay

One
night in Florida, a bunch of cosplaying doctors visit a few bars. It’s
just a friendly group of costumed fans having drinks and blowing off
steam. What could possibly go wrong?

Then Things Went Horribly Wrong

Raymond Adamcik, a 54-year-old doctor dressed as Captain America, sticks a burrito in his pants. He asks women if they want to touch it.
Not surprisingly, this pick-up line gets him many
rejections.

So, he
takes the burrito out and starts “groping” a girl.  Someone calls the
cops.

According to the police report, “There were so many cartoon
characters in the bar at the time, all Captain America’s [sic] were
asked to go outside for a possible identification.” A woman picks out
the guy in the crowd of “First Avengers” and he gets taken to jail.

But, he gets caught trying to flush a marijuana joint down the toilet. So much for this idiot’s “Super Soldier Serum.”

This next guy had his own superhero liquid …

#6 – Phoenix Jones Delivers Hot Justice

---

The Cosplay

One man has patrolled the streets of Seattle fighting for justice
wearing a skintight black-and-gold rubber suit and mask. That man is
Benjamin John Francis Fodor, who goes by the name “Phoenix Jones.” One
night, a group of friends are leaving a bar dancing and having a good time.

Then Things Went Horribly Wrong

Ssuddenly a
dude in black leather “came up from behind and pepper sprayed the
group.” The way Jones describes it, he was breaking up a fight.

He started screaming “call 911!” and bravely took off to stop them. He
broke out his “Phoenix-Jones-Pepper-Spray” (I assume he calls it that)
and let loose a cloud of hot justice. 

Unfortunately, not everyone
saw it that way. Two women, one of whom got pepper spray in the eye,
attacked him and drove him off. One woman in the group said, “A little argument broke
out between our group and the other group, and all of a sudden we were
attacked. I turn around and we’re being attacked by these guys wearing
Halloween costumes.”

The mixed martial artist, known as “Fear the Flattop“,
was later arrested and put in jail. In fact, he had just sprayed a group
earlier that night.

“You can’t go around pepper
spraying people because you think they are fighting,” said Seattle
police spokesman Det. Mark Jamieson.

Police added,
“If you see something that warrants calling 911, call 911. You don’t need to dress up in a costume to do that.”

The next guy’s had a great costume…or did they?

#5 – Darth Vader Robs a Bank…Twice

---

The Cosplay

In two separate incidents, a man dressed as Darth Vader robbed a bank.
First, in Long Island, a guy goes in bank wearing Vader’s helmet, a black shirt and a long cloak. One guy
starts joking with the him.

Then Things Went Horribly Wrong

It turns out this cosplayer had gone to the Dark Side.
“The customer thought it might have been a joke, and not a serious
attempt at a robbery,” said police. Vader didn’t force choke the guy, but he did
get into a “shoving match” with the customer.

He screamed “This is not a joke!” and pulled out a gun. The tellers filled
up a New York Yankees bag with cash. I always knew the
Yankees were the path to the Dark Side.

In the second story, a guy goes into a Toledo bank with a Darth Vader mask and a handgun. He robs the bank and escapes on a BMX bike.

Neither man was caught, proving that the Dark Side is a powerful ally.

One muppet went to the Dark Side in our next story.

#4 – Cookie Monster Smacks a Kid

---

The Cosplay

Two-year-old Samay Katkar and his mother Parmita Kurada go to Times
Square and see a guy dressed as Cookie Monster from Sesame
Street.

Without the parent’s permission, he picks up little Samay to
pose for a picture. A little boy posing with everyone’s favorite blue,
cookie-munching puppet. Great fun right?

Then Things Went Horribly Wrong

It turns out Osvaldo Quiroz-Lopez, 33, was expecting a tip. The mom
didn’t have any cash, so her husband went to get some. But
Osvaldo wasn’t getting his two dollars fast enough, so he starts
cursing her out.

Cookie Monster shoves the little boy and almost knocks him to
the ground.The jerk was arrested and charged with assault
and endangering the welfare of a child.

Now, the boy hates Cookie Monster.

You’ll hate lightsabers after our next guy.

#3 – Lightsaber Attack

---

The Cosplay

In another Star Wars related story, a guy walks into a Toy ‘R’ Us in Oregon and picks up a lightsaber. Haven’t we all?

Then Things Went Horribly Wrong

David Allen Canterbury, 33-years-old, starts swinging the lightsaber at people. He hits three people and somebody calls the cops.

Canterbury goes to the parking lot and the police say he’s yelling incoherent statements,
presumably about Padme.

That’s when the police decided to use their Tasers on him.
Canterbury just knocks the wires away. Before he can “force-jump” the
police tackle him and take him down.

Yes, the police won the standoff against a single guy with a plastic toy weapon.

Speaking of children’s toys…

#2 – Gumby Robs 7-Eleven

---

The Cosplay

In L.A., a guy walks into a 7-Eleven
wearing a gigantic Gumby costume. He’s there with another guy who,
apparently, refused to dress like Gumby’s horse pal Pokey. Then Things Went Horribly Wrong

Gumby’s there for a pack of cigarettes and
to rob the store. The clerk, thinks its a joke, but the green clay man says, ‘You don’t think it’s a
robbery? Let me show you my gun.”

He fumbles around, but his hands are
took big for his pockets and he drops 27 cents on the ground. The guy’s friend gets
bored, goes back to the minivan and starts honking his horn.

The
robber’s costume starts falling off and he leaves.

He’s the first robber in history to leave with less money than when he came in. 

The next bank robber got caught for all the wrong reasons.

#1- Hamburg Hulk Rob Bank

---

The Cosplay

In Hamburg, New York a dude walked into the Northwest Savings Bank bank
wearing an Incredible Hulk ski mask. Nothing wrong with that.

Then Things Went Horribly Wrong

28-year-old Jacob Lester of Angola
ordered the teller to put cash into a bag and
ran off.

Lester would have gotten away with it except someone
recognized him. He’d been arrested a few days before at the McKinley
Mall for shoplifting.

Someone gave a description of Lester before he’d
put his mask on outside the bank and the arresting officer at the Mall
realized they were the same guy. He also recognized the necklace Lester
was wearing.

Hulk like jewelry too much.

Are these the worst cosplay crimes you’ve heard of? have you heard of a robbery or crime with a goofy costume?
