Seattle’s
self-proclaimed superhero known as Phoenix Jones was arrested early
Sunday, accused of assaulting several people with pepper spray after
they left a nightclub. The masked crime fighter says he feels “betrayed”
by Seattle police but he remains undeterred from his personal crime
fighting mission. “I’m getting a new super suit…shipped to me, and I
plan on being on patrol soon,” the 23-year-old said. Police took Jones’
black-and-gold armored suit and mask when they arrested him. Jones, who
has patrolled Seattle’s streets with a colorful band of masked men and
women since 2010, said he was simply breaking up a fight. Police claimed
he pepper sprayed a group of men and women who’d been “dancing” in the
street. Jones posted a shaky video of the incident online, which didn’t
do much to clarify the confusing altercation.
