Man with glorious triple Mohawk arrested after skateboard assault

It’s finally happened, folks: the rare triple Mohawk — once thought to be extinct in the wild — has at last been successfully photographed. It happened on Thursday in Austin, TX, as Johnathan Washburn, 23, was arrested for allegedly clubbing a man about the head and shoulders with a skateboard. The reason? The victim had taken a photo of Washburn’s hairstyle.

The alleged victim told police he had been taking photos of “anything that was remotely interesting or unusual.”

But Washburn and his friend, 19-year-old Timothy Beard, took exception to becoming the subject of the man’s artistic eye and demanded he delete the photo, according to an arrest affidavit seen by the Austin Statesman. When the man refused, Beard allegedly stole his $100 Oakley sunglasses from the top of his head.

As the man tried to get them back, police say Washburn picked up his skateboard and hit him in the left side of the head. The pair fled the scene. According to Austin police, Washburn ended up in the city’s Jackalope bar, where officers picked him up.

I desperately want to see this police lineup.
