Can he swing from a web? Probably not.

According to the Petersburg Press Dispatch, a man claiming to be Spider-Man was arrested Sunday evening.

45-year-old Jason Hammock of Petersburg entered the office of CPA Greg Willis around 4:00pm Sunday.

He claimed he was being shot at by police and was caught hiding behind an air conditioner before he began running around.

Hammock left without incident when asked by Willis, but was then seen running on roof tops up and down Main Street.

He eventually agreed to come down from a Main Street building after police brought over a large ladder.

When he was taken into custody, officials say he told police that he had taken “bath salts.”

Police are still trying to figure out how he managed to scale some of the buildings as there were no stairs or a ladder around.

Hammock was charged with public intoxication, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief, and residential entry.
