The police force of Three Rivers, Michigan were able to do in one night what Batman hasn’t been able to do for his entire career … bust the Joker. Here’s a great story to make all the Michiganders out there be proud of their homestate … a tool named Spencer Taylor was busted in Three Rivers, MI for trying to steal posters and other Batman collectibles from a movie theater showing The Dark Knight. Aptly, the police officers who booked him made sure to get a mugshot of the dork in full Joker make-up:

Meet Spencer Taylor. The Michigan man, 20, was arrested early yesterday morning for allegedly trying to steal Batman posters and other collectibles from a theater showing “The Dark Knight.” As can be seen in the … mug shot, Taylor went to the Three Rivers Cinema multiplex in costume as the Joker. According to cops, he was charged with larceny and malicious destruction of property, and had to pose for booking photos in and out of character.

After the jump, check out the other mugshot of this criminal mastermind totally sans make-up …

Uh, yeah … he looks better with the make-up on. Seriously, this is so embarrassing … it kinda sucks that the moron is from Michigan … it’s not exactly the sort of thing to brag about … altho, it is funny as hell!
