Considering he was one of the first people to arrive at the event, and he wasn’t a zombie per se, it’s not too surprising what happened next.

A store owner was worried the man was an armed gunman coming to rob the place or do something even worse. Cops were called and they came… with force. A veritable army of police deployed from around a dozen cars and quickly took Jay i...
