Friday, July 31, 2026 - A Florida man was arrested after deputies allegedly caught
him wearing a Superman costume while attempting to flee following the burglary
of a boat, authorities have said.
According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, James
Tidwell was taken into custody after he was accused of breaking into the cabin
of a boat and stealing several power tools.
Body camera footage released by the sheriff's office shows
deputies confronting Tidwell while he was still dressed in the Superman
costume. During the encounter, investigators said he admitted taking several
items from the vessel. Authorities subsequently arrested Tidwell and charged
him with felony burglary of an unoccupied conveyance and first-degree petit
theft.
Court records show he was later released from custody after
posting a $5,500 bond. The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office has not
disclosed a motive for the alleged theft, and it remains unclear whether
Tidwell has entered a plea to the charges. The case is expected to proceed
through the Florida court system.
