This man became a sensation on the Internet, and subsequently in all media outlets in the US - but he quickly discovered that with publicity comes a price. And sometimes it can be expensive.
Courtney Barnes witnessed a massive car accident involving a police car. An interview with him - in which his unusual character was revealed - was broadcast worldwide, garnering over a million views online within 24 hours.
But Barnes has some external characteristics that cannot be ignored, such as green hair and green nails.
These elements brought to mind an interesting memory for one viewer: a burglary and theft had recently occurred at his store in Mississippi, and the man captured on the security camera resembled the famous interviewee who had taken the internet by storm.
He called the police and reported his suspicion, and a short time later, Courtney was arrested on theft charges. It also emerged during the trial that Barnes owed about $1,000 in fines to the police, which he would have to pay in full.
