Accused movie theater gunman James Holmes is spitting at jail officers so frequently that at one point he was made to wear a face guard, sources told ABC News.
Holmes' odd behavior was first seen by the public when he appeared in court Monday looking dazed, alternately bug-eyed and nodding with his eyes closing.
But ABC News has learned that his loopy court appearance was just one of several bizarre behaviors.
In the hours after his arrest Friday for the massacre at the Aurora, Colo., movie theater, Holmes stared at the wall in the Arapahoe Police Headquarters with his eyebrows twitching.
Holmes told police he was the fictitious Batman villain, the Joker, and when cops put evidence bags over his hands to preserve traces of gunpowder residue, he pretended the bags were puppets, law enforcement sources told ABC News affiliate KMGH-TV in Denver.
Since being held in the Arapahoe County Jail, Holmes has been spitting at the officers so much, they are forced to use a spit guard on Holmes when they have to move him.

120 years ago, this guy would barley be a memory, as he would have been hung 5 days ago, in public.
‘Tell me all about the evils of big pharma when you have to undergo surgery without anesthesia and or have to deal with severe pain post surgical. “
Big Pharma provided the extraordinary drug cocktails that saved my husband from death by acute leukemia.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank them.
Yea. Big Pharma is evil to some until they need the very drugs that Big Pharma provides. Im so very glad BTW that your husbands life was saved and that he is still with you- what a Blessing to you both. : )
My SIL is a breast cancer survivor nearly 20 years now from her initial diagnosis, mastectomy and the follow up chemo treatments (extraordinary drug cocktails) that saved her life. Her husband, my brother underwent surgery for Spinal stenosis just a few years ago. He would have been in excruciating and unbearable pain both pre and post op if it were not for the pain meds he was prescribed. And thankfully he had a very good surgeon and after his recovery and many months of PT, he no longer needs any pain meds, not even an OTC.
Big Pharma, pain meds and the doctors who ethically proscribe them to people who legitimately need them are not the problem. Unethical doctors and drug seekers who will seek out drugs anyway they can are a problem but IMO, you dont punish all for the actions of a few.
