Courtney Barnes found himself as an internet sensation after his descriptions of a car accident he witnessed sent the internet into overdrive.
Unfortunately for him though, his face cropping up on TV meant that a local store looking for a thief who appeared on their CCTV could identify the culprit.
The eccentric young man was first spotted giving an eyewitness account of a police chase he’d seen that had taken place in Jackson, Mississippi to WLBT-TV and it was quite likely to be the best TV interview ever given.
He described the incident in hilarious detail, with quotes such as ‘It was a full twist-about and the police car just twist around like a tornado, girl, and the Lord just shook it up and the man got injured,’ sending his interview viral.
But his distinctive green hair and incredible green fingernails meant that the local business knew they had got their man.
