Sure, the real Superman would never have been caught with 52 grams of meth in his possession, but I guarantee his alter ego in “Superman III” sure as hell would have.
According to the New York Daily News, a Utah man named Christopher Reeves was arrested Tuesday after police found a boatload of meth in his vehicle when they pulled him over for driving erratically. But let’s be honest. Who cares? This kind of thing probably happens at least twice an hour in Utah.
It’s the fact that he was also wearing a Superman shirt at the time of the traffic stop that makes this story newsworthy.
Reeves was charged with a DUI and narcotics possession but has yet to bust through the walls of the jail where he is being held on $15,000 bond.
Numerous media outlets are reporting that Reeves is not related to George Reeves or Christopher Reeve, both of whom played Superman during their acting careers.
That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have anything in common with them, though. I mean, George Reeves fell from grace with a single gunshot to the head, Christopher Reeve fell off a horse and now Christopher Reeves has fallen off the wagon.
Driving around with 52 grams of meth is pretty stupid, but it’s not as dumb as this: The Dumbest Costumed Criminals of All Time
