X-Men 'pretender' gets more jail

THE BAY CITY TIMES
VASSAR -- Michael C. Terry may have wanted to fight like Wolverine, but police said his "claws" were kitchen forks, not the unbreakable metal brandished by Hugh Jackman's character in "X-Men" movies.
Tuscola County Circuit Judge Patrick R. Joslyn ordered the 18-year-old Terry to spend 90 days in jail, with credit for 80 days, when sentencing him for assault with a dangerous weapon.
A Tuscola County Jail spokesman said Terry won't spend any more time in jail because of good behavior.

"Initially this complaint began as a result of (Terry) playing or pretending to play X-Men," said Jill L. Schmidt, Terry's Sebewaing lawyer.
Ryan J. Laleman, a worker in Terry's Pioneer Work & Learn Center cabin March 11, didn't think he was kidding when Laleman saw the Highland Park teenager wearing a pair of Jersey gloves with forks protruding through them, a police report reads.
Laleman said that the day before donning the metal claws, Terry had choked a
17-year-old fellow resident during an argument.
I guess we won't be hearing from someone at the hype here for 10 more days. Question is...what's his screen name? Retro?
