It's not just in the movies. There are real superheroes in the world. They are ordinarily ordinary people, albeit geeks, who dress up in outlandish costumes in order to make the world a better place. Most of them spend more time posing in their costumes and updating their MySpace accounts than actually patrolling the streets. And among those who patrol the streets for crime, just about all of them will "take action" by whipping out their cell phones and dialing 911 when they encounter evil-doers.
But apparently there's one guy in Iowa City who's taking justice into his own hands, even of those hands might be a little jittery most days. This fearless approach to vigilante justice leaves the illustrious Captain Save-A-Ho entirely unappreciated by the Iowa City Police Department. Those fools!
'Captain Save-A-Ho' arrested on Ped Mall
A self-professed protector of women was arrested for public intoxication Monday afternoon.
Iowa City Police Officers were dispatched to the Pedestrian Mall at 2:43 p.m. for multiple complaints of a man harassing people. Police said they found 34-year-old Jerald T. Navarre shouting and smelling of alcohol.
Police said Navarre showed signs of intoxication, admitted to drinking and told officers he was “a little drunk.” He refused pre- and post-arrest breath tests.
The man allegedly told officers he is “needed” on the Pedestrian Mall to “protect women.” He goes by “Captain Save-A-Ho,” police said.
Navarre has a lengthy criminal record with various arrests for intoxication, burglary and escape from custody, according to online court records.
Navarre has been charged with public intoxication.
Alas, the neverending quest for truth and justice continues.
