A drunk man 'borrowed' a mascot costume and had the night of his life

Joe Gillespie woke up at the bottom of a BB&T Ballpark stairwell with no idea how he got there. It was hours after an event he attended in the venue, and it didn't seem like the beginning of what would be one of his "top three nights of all time."
That is, until he began searching for a way out and came across the dressing room for Homer the Dragon, the Charlotte Knights' mascot. He spent the next five hours of that Sunday morning carousing around Uptown Charlotte as Homer, posing for pictures and getting free drinks wherever he tore up the dance floor. By Monday, Gillespie was in jail and the story, complete with a mullet in a mugshot, went viral shortly after.

Is this guy the real life Joe Dirt?

You can see in his eyes how proud he is.
I say we put together a gofundme page to buy this guy a token of our admiration.

I left Hooters and there was a big line at Tilt next door. I just said, "Yo man, can I go in?" The guy said, "No," and I was like, "Dude, You're not gonna let Homer the frickin' mascot into your bar right now?" Then he said I could go in.
There was nobody on the dance floor. I come sliding in and start getting it. I was doing all the moves you always wanted to try but are too embarrassed to.
[Joe continued around the city, taking parade-like laps around Uptown on a bicycle rickshaw, convincing a CMPD officer he was the real mascot working overtime at 3:30 a.m. and finally taking an Uber home in full costume at 5:30 a.m. after losing track of his friend.]
That's some Charlie Sheen level winning right there!

The police report said you also stole a two-way radio from the dressing room.
I got that in case they radioed that the suit was stolen so I could just chime them back and say, "Hey, I have it. Don't worry, I'll return it."

I went down to pick Mark up in a hotel. The suit was in the back of the truck because I wanted to drop it back off at the ballpark. I didn't think anyone was going to be there, and they weren't. I figured I would box it all up and bring it to the team store on Monday, and I could just say, "I think you guys are missing something" — no harm, no foul.
So, that night, I pass out about 9 o clock, wake up and all I hear is someone in my house saying, "Is Mr. Joe Gillespie here?" I got the suit together and said, "Here it is guys. Nothing's messed up, there's no beer stains. The only thing that's wrong with it is that it smells like shite, but it smelled like shite when I put it on."
