A Portland man identifying as the fictional Captain Jack Sparrow was arrested Wednesday night and hit with a slew of charges relating to his actions on board a MAX train.

The 43-year-old man, who also sported a costume resembling the Pirates of the Caribbean character, allegedly tried to bite police officers as they attempted to remove him from the train.



According to KATU, Tri-Met Police received a call reporting an "unwanted person" on a MAX train, and responded after Tri-Met workers were unable to handle the situation alone.

The man allegedly tried to bite officers while being arrested, but authorities were eventually able to apprehend him. He was booked at the Multnomah County Detention Center just after 10:30 pm and subsequently charged with interfering with public transportation, disorderly conduct, trespass, resisting arrest, and menacing.



The man declined to provide his real name, identifying only as Captain Jack Sparrow, thus police had no choice but to enter that into his booking information. He is set to be arraigned on Thursday.
