Emmet Co. man is banned from his batman costume at sentencing.
PETOSKEYM MICH (AP) -- A Michigan man who was arrested after being spotted atop a building while wearing a Batman costume won't be dressing up for a while.
32-year-old Mark Williams was sentenced Monday to six months of probation.
During that time, a judge says he's not allowed to wear costumes - including the Batman one he was wearing when Petoskey police picked him up in May.
The Harbor Springs man earlier pleaded guilty to attempted resisting/obstructing an officer.
Williams said he was inspired by others who dress as super heroes to prevent crime and reach out to the homeless.
Officers in Petoskey also confiscated a baton-like weapon and a can of chemical irritant spray. Williams says he didn't intend to use them.
