Elvis, Mr. T, Honey Monster and Big Bird in Swansea street brawl
FOUR drunken revellers dressed as Elvis, the A Team actor Mr T, Honey Monster and Big Bird landed in court after a street brawl.
As a man in a Smurf costume looked on, they lashed out at passers-by who had teased them about their fancy dress outfits.
Police were called and Ross Saunders (Mr T), Anthony Saunders (Honey Monster), Wayne Saunders (Elvis) and Dean Saunders (Big Bird) were arrested.
CCTV recorded the men, who are all related, “brawling disgracefully” in the street in Swansea, South Wales, as they celebrated the birth of Ross Saunders’ child.
Craig Jones, prosecuting, told Swansea Crown Court: “The footage showed four men in fancy dress and another group of men in normal clothing. One of that group appears to shout something at the fancy dress party and a fight breaks out.
“The first punch was thrown by Mr T but he was quickly joined by the Honey Monster. Big Bird from Sesame Street and Elvis also joined in the fracas.”

CCTV captured the Honey Monster grappling on the road outside a bar last April, while Elvis was throwing punches.
All four, from Swansea, admitted affray and were given 12-month community orders.
Recorder Nicholas Gareth Jones told them: “Each of you behaved disgracefully.”
Anthony, 33, was also told to do 300 hours of unpaid work. Wayne, 38, was given 225 hours and Ross, 23, 150 hours. Dean, 39, avoided a work order.
Four other men admitted affray and received similar sentences.
