Santa Cruz Police are warning its citizens about a dude dressed as the Cookie Monster and allegedly harassing people, and they say the man under the mask is Adam Sandler -- but it's not who you think.
Adam SandlerIn a release Wednesday, the SCPD said Adam -- who has no relation to the actor -- has been wearing the furry blue costume around the area's beach and wharf locations, with reports coming in saying he's been making uncomfortable comments and acting out.
While cops say Sandler hasn't committed any crimes, he does have a"history of unpredictable vulgar comments and troublesome behavior." The department's asking people to steer clear of him, and contact authorities if anything inappropriate is witnessed.This isn't the first time Adam's harassed people in character -- getting arrested back in 2012 while going on an antisemitic rant dressed as Elmo in Times Square, pleading guilty to disorderly conduct.
