A worker called police, who said Carter became abusive to officers, Broken Arrow Police Department told NBC News. He was eventually arrested for obstruction, which is a misdemeanor charge in Oklahoma,

He was wearing a red costume featuring a mask and had previously been seen in other businesses including a Whataburger.

Police said Carter is not a resident of Broken Arrow “and appears to have just been traveling through the town.” He is being held in the Tulsa County Jail.

“Many people don't believe this stuff ever happens, but it does,” the department said on its Facebook page.
