Seattle
prosecutors said self-proclaimed “superhero” Phoenix Jones will not
face assault charges, but they said the man is “no hero.” City Attorney
Pete Holmes said “proof problems” prevented him from filing misdemeanor
assault charges against Jones – aka 23-year-old Benjamin Fodor – in
connection with an October 9th incident when he allegedly used pepper
spray on a group of people. “However, Mr. Fodor is no hero,” Holmes
said, “just a deeply misguided individual.” “He has been warned that his
actions put himself in danger, and this latest episode demonstrates
that innocent bystanders can also be harmed,” the prosecutor said. Fodor
claimed he was breaking up a fight in the incident. Police said they
were unable to interview two of the four victims as they fled the scene.
