No More!]]> Chattanooga's infamous Spider-Man Robber has been arrested at last, after he tried to rob a convenience store he'd already robbed once. Police have the Spider-Man-masked bandit in custody, but haven't released his name yet. If only he'd wielded his great power more responsibly... or just picked some different stores to rob. [WZTV]

He wears a Spider-Man mask over prescription glasses or some type of industrial goggles, and carries a gun. You can watch some security camera footage of him here. To get to the bottom of the situtation, one Chattanooga TV station interviewed the town's biggest Spider-Man fan.

Says Stephen Pratt:

He's strong. He can jump really high. He's got really good agility, kind of like a spider or something like that you know. He's really smart.

It's not really clear from the context whether Pratt is talking about Peter Parker, or the guy who's robbed the same La Quinta hotel twice, plus a Kangaroo Express, a Motel Six and a Conoco. But Pratt does go on to say, of the bandit: "Any real Spider-Man fan wouldn't go out and do that." The article concludes that the Spider-Man bandit is "weaving his own web of capture" with every daring late-night raid. [WDEF Channel 12 news]
