SEATTLE — A local ‘superhero’ known in the past for serving justice and helping the police combat crime in downtown Seattle is now in trouble with the law.
KOMO News reports Benjamin Fodor, known by his superhero name “Phoenix Jones,” faces multiple drug charges after he allegedly sold MDMA, also known as Molly, to an undercover officer.
Fodor typically wears a costume underneath his street clothes in case he encounters crime on the streets. He carries a “net gun” and enlists the support of a sidekick in order to fight the surge of crime in the area.
A witness told detectives they could not believe Fodor had not been caught yet by authorities, paving the way for an undercover sting operation designed to catch the superhero that turned to a life of a crime.
