The joke's on the 'Joker'

I'm not making this up. Honest. From the Associated Press:

"A Three Rivers man accused of trying to steal a large Batman movie poster from a cinema lobby while dressed up as the Joker has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of malicious destruction of property.

"Twenty-year-old Spencer Taylor entered the plea Wednesday in St. Joseph County District Court.

"A judge ordered him to serve one day in jail, perform 16 hours of community service and pay $685 in fines.

"Charges of attempted larceny in a building and using a mask to conceal his identity during the commission of a crime were dismissed as part of Taylor's plea agreement.

"Three Rivers police say he was wearing a purple suit, green wig and face paint when they arrested him on July 27."

Foolish prank. Nifty disguise.
