I’ll always remember Colonial for a 70s run in with FWPD who really handled it well.
A friend in a Superman suit and another friend dressed up as Caesar decided to sneak in and grab some souvenir green flags after a costume party. Just s they were trying to get them in the car they were hit with a spot light. If I recall the second hand conversatio, it went…
”Gentlemen and ladies (their dates were there too), can you step out? What were you putting under your seat? ( pulls out a rather long real sword, the cop puts it on the hood. I understand he was trying very hard not to laugh at these two costumed kids). “Anything else?” Superman sheepishly hands over several poles with attached flags.
The officer asks for some ID and Superman (significantly under the spell of too much Everclear punch) replies, “What? You don’t recognize the big S and cape?” The patient cop politely asks if he has a wallet, neither Caesar nor Superman have their ID. The cop calls it in giving a play by play and laughter is heard over the radio after telling comms he has Superman in his car. This patient cop explains the list offenses apparently including trespass, theft, blade over legal length, etc. The cop who should’ve gotten a medal makes a deal with them. He locks up their car returns them to TCU and tells them to sleep it off and tells Supermam to meet him back at Colonial before morning shift change to replace the flags and he’ll give him his keys and not charge him.
The last I heard he got a roommate or someone to take him back in the morning after sleeping in his blue tights and red cape. His ride told us that all he could see was a silhouette of a figure running across the golf course, cape flowing, dropping flags in the holes.
True story, allegedly…
