Man seen in Philadelphia wearing creepy, Chucky-style mask is arrested in Las Vegas, authorities say

An arrest warrant was issued in Philadelphia after a masked man chased a jogger there and said, “Are you ready to die?” Authorities say he wanted to boost his social media views.

A man alleged to have been seen in Philadelphia wearing a creepy, Chucky-style mask and harassing people there last week was arrested in Las Vegas, authorities in the desert city said Tuesday.

Zymire Hughes was arrested by members of the U.S. Marshals Service Violent Offender Task Force, the service said in a statement.

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said last week that the warrant is based on allegations of felony and misdemeanor assault after a masked man chased a jogger, asked, “Do you want to die?” and caused her to suffer injuries as she fled early last Wednesday in Center City.

He said that more charges were possible and that they would be outlined after the suspect was arrested.

Booking information from the Clark County Detention Center in Nevada shows Hughes in custody with no bail, with a hearing before a judge scheduled for Thursday morning.
