A man wanted by police after he failed to show up for court decided to turn their pursuit into a game ― by dressing up as Waldo from “Where’s Waldo.”
Police in North Yorkshire, U.K., spent the weekend looking for 30-year-old J.J. McMenamin, after he missed a court date for alleged traffic violations.

McMenamin decided to poke fun at the officer’s expense by dressing up as Waldo, the main character in the “Where’s Waldo” series of children’s books. The books challenge readers to find Waldo in pictures of huge crowds.
In one Facebook post, McMenamin taunted police by superimposing his own face over the character’s face with the words, “Dude … I’m right here.”
The joke may have been on McMenamin as the North Yorkshire Police reported that he was taken into custody after a weekend of searching for him.
