Jeff Gorno says Williams showed up at the accident scene Saturday night "in his Batman outfit" and "wouldn't clear the scene." <br><br>Gorno tells the Petoskey News-Review police "had a canine out there," and Williams "kept screwing up the scent." The sergeant says authorities "didn't want the dog to track Batman instead of the accident scene." <br><br>A telephone call to a listing for Williams rang unanswered on Wednesday.<br><br>The 33-year-old Petoskey resident is facing a two-year felony. He's due back in court on Oct. 18.<br><br>Last October, Williams was sentenced to six months probation and ordered not to wear costumes after he pleaded guilty to attempted resisting/obstructing an officer. Williams was arrested in May 2011 after being spotted atop a building while wearing a Batman costume.</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">---------------</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Mark Williams, seen here in his Batman costume in 2011.</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><img src="cid:7F295724-F4AA-4200-8C19-7B36F88E031E" alt="mark-wayne-williams.jpg" id="7F295724-F4AA-4200-8C19-7B36F88E031E" width="620" height="425"></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; "><br></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; ">------------------------------------<br><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><img src="cid:B3FCE669-04D1-493B-9F81-8433E03EE1DF" alt="image.jpeg" id="B3FCE669-04D1-493B-9F81-8433E03EE1DF" width="330" height="222"></span></div>Seeya at the polls, Moscow, because . . .<div><br></div><div>"Moscow Cares"</div><div><a href="http://www.MoscowCares.com">http://www.MoscowCares.com</a></div><div> </div><div><div>Tom Hansen</div><div>Moscow, Idaho</div><div><br></div><div>"We're a town of about 23,000 with 10,000 college students.
