Motion pictures can spin some fairly fascinating tales that may delight moviegoers however, typically, actuality could be stranger than fiction. Working example, a person who needed to be rescued by the Coast Guard this previous week was the identical person who had been sought out by authorities in Astoria, Oregon for leaving lifeless fish on the home featured within the 1985 Richard Donner movie, The Goonies. (Sure, you learn all of that appropriately). This can be a story so weird it is worthy of a film adaptation, or maybe, producers can work it into the long-rumored Goonies 2!
A involved citizen known as the native police on February 1, 2023, to tell them Labonte had posted a video to social media putting a lifeless fish on the porch of the well-known Goonies’ home. Per the Astoria 911 Dispatch, on the next Friday, police obtained a name from Port Safety Chief Matt Hansen informing them {that a} vessel concerned in a Coast Guard rescue earlier within the day had been stolen from the Port of Astoria. Chief Hansen had acknowledged the ship from a video posted by the Coast Guard on its social media and contacted the proprietor to substantiate it had been stolen.
The police say that roughly across the identical time they obtained the decision from the Safety Chief, they obtained calls from residents figuring out the rescued sufferer as the person they have been searching for in relation to the fish incident.

After the Coast Guard was efficiently in a position to rescue Jericho Labonte, he was taken into custody with out incident. Authorities report that Labonte is needed on fees of Theft I, Endangering one other Individual, Unauthorized Use of a Car, and Felony Mischief II. Not solely is the person going through fees in Astoria, however authorities say he’s wished in his dwelling of British Columbia on fees of legal harassment, mischief, and failure to conform.
This is not the primary incident surrounding the well-known home and vacationer landmark. The house’s earlier proprietor, Sandi Preston, had the Metropolis Council and the Chamber of Commerce help her in holding guests from taking photos of her property after tourism to the long-lasting home exploded. She needed to place an indication on her avenue that learn, “Entry Closed to Goonies Home” so as to maintain rabid followers from trespassing on her property.
Nevertheless, the OPB stories that the house has a brand new proprietor, a self-proclaimed tremendous fan named Behman Zakeri, who says he bought the home to “ensure that the general public nonetheless has some type of entry to it.” Nonetheless, it is uncertain Zakeri had the incident involving Labonte’s fish in thoughts when he made the home extra accessible to followers.
The incident with the Goonies‘ home is not a novel one. Typically locations utilized in fashionable media can turn into the goal of rabid followers. Breaking Dangerous creator Vince Gilligan needed to attraction to followers of his groundbreaking tv present to cease visiting the Albuquerque dwelling that stood in for Walter White’s suburban abode as a result of usually they might present up and throw pizzas on the proprietor’s roof — an homage to a scene within the present. And the realtor of the American Horror Story Homicide Home was sued by a brand new purchaser over fan harassment, which they claimed hadn’t been disclosed to them earlier than the acquisition. If these incidents have taught us something, it’s that franchise devotees can typically be a bit too over-the-top. So one would possibly need to suppose twice earlier than buying a well-known dwelling featured in film and TV productions or earlier than opening up your property to such initiatives.
It is uncertain {that a} fishy subplot that includes a stand-in for Jericho Labonte will likely be featured in a sequel, however talks about Goonies 2 proceed to happen, so by no means say die! And with the current award-winning return of Knowledge actor Ke Huy Quan, a brand new journey for the Astoria boys will seemingly achieve some extra steam. We’ll be keeping track of that and for any additional developments on Labonte’s scenario.
