A judge "batted" down two misdemeanors against Walsh Ian Nichols who was arrested on October 21 in Ybor City after refusing to remove the mask he was wearing in public. The law was originally created in 1951 to combat the Ku Klux Klan.
Following the judge's ruling, Nichols' attorney crowed, "The streets of Tampa are safe again...Ybor is a better place to have Batman in it."
