Missouri State Highway Patrol: Ignore Gotham City alert - The Hill

The Missouri State Highway Patrol on Tuesday issued a statement asking the public to ignore a Batman-related alert that said Gotham City authorities were on the lookout for a purple and green 1978 Dodge.

“GOTHAM CITY MO PURPLE/GREEN 1978 DODGE 3700GT MO UKIDME,” the emergency alert text from the state’s highway patrol read?

Missouri State Highway Patrol, which included a screenshot of the text alert, said in a statement on Twitter that there was no alert and that it “was meant to be a test message.”.

In a follow-up news release, the state’s highway patrol said that the mistake had occurred on its Blue Alert system after one option had been selected by accident.
