Bringing Batman's utility belt into a courtroom is a horrible idea

Jamie Busk, 38, of Evergreen Park was stopped about 2 p.m. Monday at the Daley Center entrance near Randolph and Dearborn, according to a release from the Cook County Sheriff's office.

While Busk was going through a security X-ray machine, courthouse Deputy David Nowacki noticed several metal objects that appeared to be inside his belt. He stopped Busk and inspected the belt, finding a built-in zipper with several objects tucked inside.

Among the items found in the belt were a pocket knife with a 2-inch blade and handcuff keys, while the buckle was fashioned so it could also be used as a weapon, the release said.

Busk, who told the deputy he “wore the wrong belt today,” was charged with unlawful storage of a weapon.
