A man accused of trying to steal a large Batman movie poster from a cinema lobby while dressed as the Joker has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of malicious destruction of property.
Twenty-year-old Spencer Taylor entered the plea Wednesday in St. Joseph County District Court.
A judge ordered him to serve one day in jail, perform 16 hours of community service and pay $685 in fines.
Charges of attempted larceny in a building and using a mask to conceal his identity during the commission of a crime were dismissed as part of Taylor’s plea agreement.
Three Rivers police say he was wearing a purple suit, green wig and face paint when they arrested him on July 27.
