Palm Bay [FLORIDA, of course!] Police Department (PBPD) officers arrested a man dressed as Ronald McDonald for allegedly trespassing.
A video shared Thursday by the PBPD showed officers approaching a man dressed up as Ronald McDonald. Christopher Marlowe, the suspect in the video, was banned from the plaza prior to the recent arrest, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by Fox 13 Tampa Bay. Police said he was cautioned that he would be arrested if he returned. The suspect was allegedly loitering and was “aggressive” toward officers. Police said he was warned prior to the arrest.
Police said Marlowe was homeless, TMZ reported. An officer could be heard in the video asking him to put his belongings down because he’s under arrest, but the Ronald McDonald doppelgänger appeared to refuse to cooperate.
“Why, so you can rob me?” Marlowe said in the video. The bodycam footage showed the police taking action in an attempt to put handcuffs on Marlowe. An apparent scuffle ensued and the suspect ended up on the ground.

The tense encounter continued as PBPD officers removed Marlowe’s personal items from his pockets, including what appeared to be an orange flare gun, according to the footage.
Officers eventually succeeded in putting the cuffs on the alleged trespasser and managed to get him into their vehicle despite his apparent efforts to resist.
Once inside the car, a verbal exchange between both parties could be heard in the video. An officer told Marlowe, “You look like a clown!”
He replied by shouting, “No sh!t, I am a clown, stupid!”
The footage went on to show the PBPD searching and emptying what appeared to be the suspect’s bag as they pulled out a number of red noses and clown costumes. The sound of a clown horn was heard repeatedly throughout the video but it’s unclear precisely where it was coming from.
Authorities charged Marlowe with one count of trespass other than structure or conveyance and resisting an officer with violence, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
The police affidavit said the Ronald McDonald lookalike went by the alias “Wicked Jesus.”
It remains unclear whether he is still in police custody.

LOL - Observant cop! 😅
My mother-in-law used to live there....................
The world has gone mad these days.
Plan for the day: …Dress up like a clown. …Get handcuffed by a cop…
So all’s well that ends well.
Maybe he goes to McDonalds,,, pretends he Ronald, then asks customers for money to take a picture with him. Probably scares customers away .
On the other hand, a sad, mentally ill guy, fixated on Ronald McDonald.
IMHO
Or a pedo.........................
Is this the new “Hey kid, want some candy? Get in the van...”
Now:
“Follow me Ronald McD to the Play Place for some treats!”
One of the few times it pays to be a cop. lol. “Honey..I’m ho-oome! Guess what I did today...!” Love it!
I wonder, did he grimace when they slapped the cuffs on him?
I don’t know, but he wasn’t lovin’ it.................
Da,da, da-da-da, he’s hating it!
