> While self-proclaimed crime fighter Phoenix Jones contends he was breaking up a fight, Seattle police arrested the leader of the Rain City Superhero Movement early Sunday after he allegedly doused a group of people with pepper spray.

> “It’s fine if people want to dress up and walk around … but our concern is when they insert themselves into these potentially volatile and unknown situations,” said Jamieson. “If you’re deploying pepper spray on people on the street, you have to have a good reason to do it or you’ll be arrested for assault.”
