Yeetle Box - Banana Man Cometh

A 21-year-old man is in trouble after a bizarre string of events ended with him in handcuffs, wearing a banana costume and carrying a shotgun.On Tuesday, Port Angeles Police responded to reports of a man exposing himself to a woman in a local Wendy's restaurant. The witness told 911 dispatchers the suspect was wearing a children's banana costume and sucking on a Frosty. Police seemed leary that a man could expose himself while wearing a banana costume given the logistics of such an act and that the banana costume did not appear to have a zipper.

However, a short time later, more calls came into 911 reporting a man in a banana costume, only this time he was driving through a park pointing a shotgun out the window of his car. Eye witnesses disagree whether or not it was a shotgun or another act of exposing himself.-year-old man is in trouble after a bizarre string of events ended with him in handcuffs, wearing a banana costume and carrying a shotgun.

However, a short time later, more calls came into 911 reporting a man in a banana costume, only this time he was driving through a park pointing a shotgun out the window of his car. Eye witnesses disagree whether or not it was a shotgun or another act of exposing himself.

Police pursued and finally caught up with the man's light gray Dodge Stratus near SR 101 and Old Olympic Highway. He was easily identified as he was still wearing a banana costume. Two female passengers were in the car also, self-identified as groupies of the Banana Man.

The man followed officer's commands and exited his vehicle carrying the shotgun. When ordered the man put the gun down and got on the ground, rolling back and forth. The two female passengers in the car were arrested for Reckless Endangerment - not sure why since they were not driving and were not wearing a banana costume.

The Banana Man was arrested for Indecent Exposure, Reckless Endangerment and Unlawful Carrying or Handling of a Firearm. Charges are still pending regarding impersonating a banana.

The shotgun and banana costume have been checked into evidence and kept for forensic evaluation to determine their authenticity.
