Captain America and the Florida Man Autumn Soldier

Baruch Roche, 33, was indicted on one count of attempted possession of a firearm in a federal facility for the Nov. 3 stunt at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, the US Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida said in a news release.

Roche, of Tampa, drove up to the gate at the base in a green Hyundai Genesis shortly after 2 p.m. and demanded entry, saying he had a meeting with Air Force brass “to provide top secret information.”

But the crazed man refused to provide ID and “instead identified himself as ‘Captain America,’” according to the indictment.

[Worst Marvel Cinematic Universe sequel ever? Well, maybe after “The Marvels.” Amazingly, Roche faces only a year in prison for this stunt. Maybe we should think about extending the penalties for this kind of attempted armed intrusion into military facilities eh? — Ed]
