Getting Tased For Fighting The Police While Wearing a Pikachu Onesie Is Apparently How This Man Spent His Sunday Funday
ARL Now - A wild fight outside Ballston’s A-Town Bar & Grill last night resulted in two suspects being tased by police, including one man who was brawling while wearing a Pikachu onesie.
The incident happened around 9 p.m. on the 1000 block of N. Randolph Street. According to police, it started when the man in the Pikachu costume, Steven Goodwine, Jr., tried to pick a fight with the bouncers at A-Town after being kicked out of the bar’s weekly “Sunday Funday” festivities.
Goodwine “became aggressive with the door staff and Mr. Reid attempted to intervene,” according to what may be the longest item ever on an Arlington County Police Department daily crime report (below).
Police arrived and tried to break up the fight between Goodwine and Reid, according to the crime report. The men allegedly stopped fighting with each other and started fighting with police. Both suspects were tased during the fracas and Goodwine tried to flee, but both were eventually taken into custody and no one was seriously injured, police say.

Ah yes, Sunday Funday. When you dress up in your finest Pikachu costume and head to the bar for a nice brunch, mimosas, and fighting with police until you get tased. A tradition as old as time itself.
Now, a general rule of thumb where I grew up was never fight the police, especially when you’re wearing a Pikachu onesie. Just one of those hard and fast rules that I knew I should never break. When you get kicked out of a bar, you walk into the next bar. You don’t fight the bouncer, you don’t fight the guy who tries to stop you from fighting the bouncer, and then you don’t team up with the guy who you were fighting and try to fight the police. Just how I was raised.
There is some sort of irony in Pikachu getting tased, but shame on the internet for not supplying a picture. Video of a grown ass man dressed as Pikachu getting worked by the police needs to be filmed and there needs to be a minimum of 7 WIRRRRLLLLSTARRRR’s thrown into the mix. So we will wait, and when the picture emerges, it will be glorious. Just believe in something one time for me, internet.
