When I posted last April that 'Petoskey Batman' was 'hanging it up,' I was quickly corrected:
Your information is false. The Petoskey Batman is selling off the suit, but he is FAR from hanging it up. He has constructed a new suit, and plans to go back on patrol in a few weeks.
Now we hear news that sure enough, Mark Wayne Williams was at it again.
The Petoskey News reports Williams was arrested last Saturday night for interfering with a police investigation.
Sgt. Jeff Gorno told the News the incident happened in Bear Creek Township:
Troopers were responding to the scene of a personal injury accident in which the driver had left the scene. “When we arrived, (Williams) was at the scene in his Batman outfit. He wouldn’t clear the scene and we had a canine out there and he kept screwing up the scent,” Gorno said. “He said he wanted to help us look for the driver.” “We didn’t want the dog to track Batman instead of the accident scene and he was getting in the way of officers who had a job to do.” Williams’ Batman costume and gear were confiscated. Gorno said he was not carrying any dangerous weapons. Williams posted bond and was released from the Emmet County Jail.
Williams faces felony changes for "resisting and obstructing police in an investigation."
He was arrested last year after he was spotted on a rooftop in downtown Petoskey. He was ordered not to don his costume while on six months of probation.
'Petoskey Batman' is listed as one of the members of the 'real-life-superhero' group "The Michigan Protectors."
No word on the whereabouts of the bat cave yet:
