Adam Horovitz Spongebob SquarepantsAccording to the Beastie Boys' Adam Horovitz, SpongeBob SquarePants may be trading his pineapple under the sea for something a little less scenic -- a jail cell.

While recently riding on the New York City subway, Horovitz was confronted by a man dressed in a SpongeBob SquarePants costume who was hoping to make a buck off the Beastie Boy.

"This fkn guy bumps into me and tries to run the broken watch scam on me," Horovitz wrote on the Beastie Boys' Tumblr. "You know what i mean ... he shows me some bullsh--ty watch on his wrist and he's like ... 'yo. you broke my f--kin' watch! you owe me 500 dollars.'"
