New York, United States: A Michigan man with a warrant for his arrest has been taken into custody after showing up at a Detroit-area police station while playing the "Pokemon Go" game.
The Detroit News reports that Milford police say the 26-year-old, who was wearing pajama pants, rode a bike to the Milford station on Thursday.
Police Chief Tom Lindberg says officers recognized him because they've had contact with him in previous years. He was booked on a warrant for missing a court date and released. The newspaper says he was originally charged with breaking and entering.
The location-aware smartphone game gives digital incentives like "Pokeballs" as rewards for visiting real places, known as "Pokestops" and "Gyms." According to Milford police, the station is the site of a "Gym" as part of the game.
