Joke's on you

Today's crime tip: If you're planning to steal a large poster of "The Dark Knight" from a theater lobby, it might be a little conspicuous to be dressed as the Joker at the time.

Police in Three Rivers, MI, say Spencer Taylor, 20, was wearing a purple suit, a green wig and face paint when he was arrested for trying to swipe the movie poster.

After pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge of malicious destruction of property, Taylor was sentenced to one day in jail, 16 hours of community service and a $685 fine.
