A man walking around Bangor wearing a paper bag on his head prompted a call to police, according to a Facebook post from the Bangor Police Department.

A caller on Monday reported the man to police as "suspicious." Police agreed with the caller, and decided to check it out.

"We had a friendly conversation and it was determined that this is how the person (seen here wearing a paper bag) wanted to walk around town," reads the Tuesday afternoon post.  "Is it how you would do it? Probably not."

The post went on to explain that "this particular method of concealing oneself" is not illegal. However, Bangor's finest had some advice for those who would employ this same method.

"[W]e urge people to avoid banks and other businesses while wearing a bag on their head. There is a time and place for everything."
