After falling to the ground, the victim says $45 dollars fell out of her pocket. The victim says she observed the man, dressed as Spider-Man, take the cash and then flee. The victim then walked back to the laundromat and called 911.
Responding Hollywood Police officers were able to locate a man riding a bicycle dressed up like Spider-Man wearing yellow shoes and shorts. The man was stopped by Hollywood Police and arrested. The victim positively identified the man dressed up like Spider-Man who was later arrested for robbery.
Lequan Payne is currently in the custody of the BSO jail while facing unarmed robbery and resisting without violence charges.
