Feb. 22, 2021—A man dressed in full body armor wielding a bow and arrow and a large ax drove through the gate of a Pasadena, Calif., auto body shop last weekend. 

A 27-year-old Altadena resident drove a Jeep through the front gates of the shop sporting armor and a Kevlar helmet, causing roughly $2,000 in damage, news reports say. Once inside the property, the man proceeded to hide out until he was detained by local law enforcement.
