Clowning Around
Police in Menasha, Wisc., responded to a report of people in clown masks chasing after vehicles. At the scene, officers found two men, aged 20 and 29, dressed in clown costumes, and a 26-year-old woman driving them around. This was actually the second clown-related incident at that location. “This is kind of one of those Internet sensations that’s really taking on a life of its own,” Police Chief Tim Styka said. “And people are just really starting to make some really poor and dumb decisions to participate in some of these activities.” The older man and the woman in this particular incident, however, apparently added some extra dumb to their decisions. The couple have a 4-year-old child, and according to Styka, “They had left this 4-year-old girl home alone while they decided to go out and do their clowning activities.” The child was removed from the home, and the couple was arrested. Police are seeking charges of child neglect. (MS/WBAY Green Bay) ...Scary clowns indeed.Original Publication Date: 23 October 2016
