A man in a yellow Pikachu costume is on the run after police say he smashed into two banks in Jefferson County with a softball bat.
The first incident occurred on Oct. 19, 2026, at 9:37 p.m. at a U.S. Bank branch on Shaffer Parkway. The second happened the next night at 10:16 p.m. at a Wells Fargo location on West Belleview Avenue. In both cases, the suspect used a green Easton Topaz youth or women's bat to strike doors, ATMs, and signage.
Deputies described the man as white. He wore a children's Pikachu onesie over his head. A green knitted zip-up hoodie covered his body, featuring dancing bears on the sleeves and a large Grateful Dead graphic on the back. A red, pink, and burgundy scarf hung around his neck. On his feet, he wore black Hermes Izmir-style slides.
The suspect drove a white Subaru Outback from the early 2000s. The vehicle had white door handles and silver or beige metallic cladding on the lower body.
