HUDSON FALLS, N.Y. - A local cable television superhero known as Banana Boy must perform 40 hours of community service for staging a fake brawl on a busy street.
Chris Phelps, 20, was sentenced in village court last week with his brother Jonathan and friend Luke Van Scoy. They also were fined $100 each, The Post Star of Glens Falls reported.
The three were charged with disorderly conduct when police mistook their TV skit for a real knife fight. Van Scoy attacked Banana Boy with a prop knife just as Washington County Sheriff's Deputy Shawn Lovelace was driving down the street.
The skit was being filmed for the trio's Glen Falls cable television show, The Ravacon.
