And a couple weeks later, I'm at a bar doing what I normally do, driving people to the bar, dropping them off and waiting for them. JONES: You know, I know that sounds like a large leap, but what happened is I'm cleaning my car up from the glass, and I found a rock inside a mask that they had used to smash my window. MARTIN: But, wait, how did you go from that story, which a lot of people, I think, can relate to - which is a terrible story, by the way, and I'm sorry that happened to you - to wearing a costume and deciding you were going to actually do patrols? And it wasn't till I was able to get help another way that we were able to get help, and it really disturbed me. And I said why? He said, it'll ruin my YouTube clip. And I'm trying to stop the bleeding, and I see a guy run across the street with a camera phone. And his knee is cut open, and he's bleeding really badly. And we leave and we were running back to my car, and he falls in this glass right by my car because someone had broken in my car and broke the window.
And we were at Wild Waves, and we were playing in the water. You know, a little time went by, and I had a son. My face was pretty out there, and I didn't feel very comfortable. After I'd been breaking up bar fights for a little bit, I stopped because people started recognizing me. JONES: I used to do a - like, a little bar patrol where I drop people off at the bar, and then since I was already going to have to wait for them, I decided to break up bar fights. So, Phoenix, why don't you start? How did you get started on this? But I do think people would like to know how this got started. You don't like to put the focus on your individual identities.
MARTIN: Now, I understand that each of you doesn't like to talk about your other lives very much. PHOENIX JONES (Superhero): Well, thank you, ma'am. But he happens to be on the West Coast today, where we caught up with him. And DC's Guardian is based in our nation's capital, as you might expect from the name. Phoenix Jones is from Seattle, Washington. We've invited two so-called superheroes to talk about what they do and why they do it. And you can see where this might sound a bit strange. They are a group of people, adults, who aren't just fantasizing about being superheroes, they're actually taking on the personas. They call themselves Real Life Superheroes. Now we talk about an effort to bring superheroes to your neighborhood. But first, we just heard about the revival of the Black Panther comic book hero. 10 for violating the Violation of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act.I'm Michel Martin, and this is TELL ME MORE, from NPR News.Ĭoming up, my weekly Can I Just Tell You commentary. Fodor and Berendsen were booked into the King County Jail Jan. Detectives uncovered two small plastic bundles with suspected cocaine residue inside the brown leather bag. Investigators found seven separate bundles of cocaine weighing about four grams, a scale with suspected residue, several blue narcotic package and unknown white powder substance weighing approximately 31.7 grams. Shortly after the vigilante and his accomplice, Andrea Irene Berendsen, 26, were arrested. and were seen carrying a shiny gold backpack and a blue plastic tackle box into the hotel lobby, authorities said. The pair got outside of their vehicle just before 11 p.m. Police said Fodor and his unknown girlfriend agreed to meet an agent Jan. Less than a week later after the exchange, the undercover officer reached out to Fodor for another shipment of "Molly." Despite many text message exchanges, it took more than a month for detectives to arrange another drug deal with Fodor, according to the district court filing. Each substance tested positive for MDMA and weighed about 7.1 grams in total. Police said Fodor handed the agent a brown paper bag, which had several purple powder substances in several dark-colored bags. Investigators said the famed superhero accepted an additional $200 in person and agreed to sell more "Molly" to the detective at a later date. Prior to the encounter, the undercover detective sent Fodor $300 on Venmo, according to the report. The operation revealed Fodor sold MDMA or "Molly" to an undercover narcotics detective Nov. Local station KOMO News reports that this was the result of an undercover sting operation from Seattle police designed to catch Fodor Turns out he's in trouble with police for something very different. Now, Jones is no stranger to conflict with the police, after his nose was broken, they told him to stop, getting arrested for assault, his arrest video showing him being attacked instead, charges being dropped, and eventually coming round to his way of thinking.īut we haven't heard about Phoenix Jones for some time.
