Brevard County, FL (CNN) -- This Florida man was arrested after showing up at a movie theater Wednesday made-up as the "Joker", a "Batman" character.

A movie-goer spotted the costumed man with red hair and called police.

Authorities arrested 21-year-old Christopher Sides on an outstanding warrant for an unrelated incident.

No guns were found and police say he cooperated during the arrest.

Movie-goers took notice because of the similarity to July's deadly shooting during the latest "Batman" movie in Aurora, Colorado.

Police say 24-year-old James Holmes referred to himself as the "Joker", before officials say he killed 12 people and injured 58 others.
