Sometimes we lose ourselves amidst the pursuit to catch ’em all…Let’s just hope that this fool over in Milford, Michigan wasn’t actually trying to catch a Parasect before he was apprehended by police authorities.

Chief Thomas Lindberg said the man (William Wilcox) just made it easy, by showing up. Wilcox, a repeat offender with a warrant out for his arrest, ended up right in front of the men that’d go on to take him into custody.

“It was a misdemeanor warrant for a failure to appear on a breaking and entering charge,” Lindberg said. “They approached him. Took him in custody without incident and he admitted he was trying to catch the character at the flagpole.”
