As J. Jonah Jameson always says, "Spider-Man's a menace."  The LA Times reports that Spider-Man was arrested on outstanding criminal warrants yesterday.  Actually, it wasn't the real Spider-Man (since we know that Spidey usually hangs out in Manhattan).  
 
A Spider-Man imposter was arrested after an incident where he "allegedly slugged a man" near Hollywood.  To make things more exciting, when LAPD patrol officers arrived after hearing a report of a battery by a man in a Spider-Man costume, they actually found four Spideys.

"They stopped one, it wasn't him," LAPD Lt. Beverly Lewis said. "They stopped the second, and it was the suspect."

This isn't the first time costumed impersonators have stirred up trouble.  The LA Times also reported that tourists have complained that the costumed characters sometimes turn abusive when they refuse to pay them to pose for pictures.  Looks like we have to be careful when spotting a costumed person.

There's always at least 1 person dressed as Spider-man on that street in Hollywood. Walking down that block, you'll see a dozen or more people were costumes trying to make money from people taking their pictures with them. I'd bet that there'd be another guy dressed in spidey outfit tomorrow to take the place of this guy.

This reminds me of that story a while ago about two people dressed as superman and batman that got arrested, and the superman took on something like 5 cops. These guys seem to violent, so I am now going to go by the policy of hitting people in the face dressed like superheroes. I am going to have a field day next Halloween.

What a douche. I bet that all of the guys in the prison with him ripped him to shreds. 
It'd be funny if he went to prison and he found some prisoners in the costumes of the Sinister Six. That'd be ironic.

I just think of how little kids would react if they saw Spidey being arrested... Aww!

It would've been fantastic if he had a pair of webshooters (you know, the toy ones that shoot silly string) and attempted to swing away.

@xerox-kitty: Look at that little girl's face!

 
@Vortex13: Too bad DC didn't use it to promote Superman/Batman Public Enemies.  Here's the article:
