Paraguayan “Jason” Arrested for Theft Amid Horror Costume Fame

UPDATE: A man known as “Paraguayan Jason” has been arrested in Fernando de la Mora, a suburb of Asuncion, for possessing stolen items. This bizarre incident, reported by Paraguayan news agencies NPY Oficial and H2F0Z, has captured public attention as the man is infamous for dressing as the horror film character Jason Voorhees.

Authorities confirmed that the arrest occurred last week when police apprehended two individuals found with items stolen from the home of a former model. Notably, one of the suspects was the man who has made headlines for his frequent appearances in costume as the legendary character from the 1980 film “Friday the 13th.”

In a twist that may disappoint fans, the man was not in costume at the time of his arrest. “No, he wasn’t wearing a costume, he was in civilian clothes,” stated a police officer during a broadcast on Paraguayan television. The arrest has sparked a wave of memes and social media reactions, with locals humorously questioning his choices.

This is not the first time authorities have dealt with “Jason.” Earlier reports from ABC revealed that he had previously been known to police for dressing up to make money from fans wanting photos with him. His well-known machete was revealed to be a fake, crafted from cardboard, adding an ironic layer to his criminal activities.

The phenomenon of “Paraguayan Jason” highlights a unique intersection of pop culture and crime, captivating the local community and beyond. As the character Jason Voorhees prepares to make a new appearance on screen in the upcoming prequel series titled “Crystal Lake,” where his mother will be portrayed by Linda Cardellini, this real-life twist adds another chapter to the horror genre’s legacy.

What happens next for “Jason” remains uncertain, but his arrest raises questions about the impact of cosplay culture on criminal behavior. As police investigations continue, residents of Asuncion are left to ponder the bizarre connection between a fictional killer and real-life crime. The story is developing, and updates are expected as authorities unravel more details.

Stay tuned for more on this unusual case that blends horror film lore with real-world consequences.
