A Florida man dressed as Ronald McDonald was arrested by the police for trespassing. The encounter quickly escalated when he reacted aggressively, carrying a bag full of costumes and making a blunt statement that made the whole incident even more bizarre.
Florida man’s clownish standoff with police
A Florida man, fully dressed as Ronald McDonald, was arrested for trespassing, and his reaction to police was as blunt as it was ironic.
When officers told him he looked like a clown, he fired back, “No s***, I am a clown, stupid.”
A chaotic arrest unfolds
Bodycam footage captured the intense moment when Palm Bay police officers confronted the McDonald’s mascot lookalike.
The suspect, later identified as Chris Marlowe, a homeless man, was ordered to put down his belongings.
His immediate response? “Why, so you can rob me?!?”
As officers attempted to take him into custody, a scuffle ensued, leading to Marlowe being forcefully taken to the ground.
The footage shows police retrieving what appeared to be an orange flare gun from his pocket.
Bizarre discoveries in Florida man’s bag
After securing the suspect in their squad car, an officer remarked, “You look like a clown.” Marlowe’s unapologetic reply left no room for doubt.
The bizarre arrest didn’t end there. When police searched his bag, they discovered an assortment of clown costumes and a seemingly endless supply of red noses, adding another odd twist to the already surreal encounter.
Charges and prior warnings
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Marlowe faces charges of trespass other than structure or conveyance and resisting an officer with violence.
Authorities state that he had previously been warned about trespassing at a local shopping center.
Witnesses reported seeing him loitering, talking to himself, and serving no apparent purpose on the property.
Despite the warning, he returned, leading to his arrest.
A mugshot to remember
Capping off the bizarre incident, Marlowe’s mugshot has gained attention due to his striking appearance.
The police affidavit also notes his alias—”Wicked Jesus”—adding yet another layer to the strange saga.
This Florida man’s arrest proves that sometimes, reality is stranger than fiction—even in the Sunshine State.
