Spider-Man Masked Robber Finally Caught in Upper Macungie

I may have liked Spider-Man more when I was a kid and he wasn’t so “overexposed.” But, that’s the same thing as liking a band that you think only you have heard of even though a million other people have heard of them because, if not, they wouldn’t have been popular enough for you to hear them.

In my pantheon of super heroes, however, Spider-Man isn’t my favorite. 

I think my top five would go…

5. The Hulk (When he’s super duper mad)

4. The Dark Avengers Hawkeye (He’s really Bullseye whaaat?)

3. Batman when he wore the blue and grey suit.

2. Spider-Man

1. Silver Surfer

This guy would probably be in a tie for last with Matter Eater Lad.

A man wanted for armed robbery in Susquehanna County was arrested this week following an Upper Macungie Township traffic stop, Pennsylvania State Police report.

Authorities say 20-year-old Louis George Sherman is the man who donned a Spider-Man mask Oct. 5 and robbed a Lenox Township, Pa., convenience store.

Armed with a handgun, Sherman allegedly walked into a Pump N Pantry about 1:30 a.m. and demanded money from the clerk. He left with an undisclosed amount of cash; no one was injured, police said.

State police at Fogelsville say Sherman was headed east at 10:22 p.m. Tuesday on Interstate 78 when troopers pulled him over for a traffic violation. He allegedly displayed signs of intoxication.

Troopers used the National Crime Information Center to check Sherman’s name and determine he is wanted for robbery, theft and receiving stolen property, police said. Sherman’s passenger, Byron Steven Hricenak, 51, had heroin and drug paraphernalia, police said. SOURCE: The Express-Times

Worst super hero ever.

If I were going to don a mask and rob a place, I’d probably go with a just a pair of glasses. I mean, it worked for Superman. No one was EVER able to figure out he was Clark Kent. Apparently Metropolis was the city with the highest level of legally blind citizens.
