Banana Boy behind bars!

Banana Boy was arrested on Thursday in Hudson Falls' downtown area. Chris, his brother Jonathan Phelps, and his friend Luke Van Scoy were staging a skit: "Banana Boy Arrested After Faux Fight". According to the Post-Star of Glens Falls, the BB was dressed in his costume all the while. Despite that - or perhaps because of it - the police even drew their guns when they saw the fake fracas, not realizing it was just for The Ravacon on WNCE:

"I said, 'Oh my God, don't shoot the banana,'" said Steven Wilson, who was watching the skit being filmed when Lovelace came upon the scene with his gun drawn. "It was the funniest thing I've ever seen."

According to WNCE co-owner Jesse Jackson (no relation to the Reverend), he's going to have a talk with the BB about this. He also called them "very talented". And:

"I've been in TV for a lot of years and I've never seen anything like them".

That's for sure!
