BEACHWOOD -- One never knows what one might encounter out in public and that is particularly true for police officers.

A Northfield boy, 17, was arrested Dec. 17 and charged with disorderly conduct after he alarmed shoppers at Nordstrom in Beachwood Place.

The boy's method of alarming involved putting on a Batman mask and red sunglasses on his face and a hood covering his head and then running full speed through the shopping area.

Police were called and took the boy from the store.
