What a Clown II
A 6-year-old girl jumped into a stranger’s car trying to hide, then ran into a stranger’s apartment in Youngstown, Ohio, screaming that a clown was chasing her. A man in the apartment ran outside with a gun to confront the horror, and fired a warning shot into the ground. That, of course, brought police, who found the clown: it was the girl’s father, who allegedly told officers he put on the clown mask and chased her to discipline her, instead of spanking her. The unnamed parent was charged with child endangering and inducing panic, while the man who fired the gun was charged with using weapons while intoxicated. (MS/AP) ...Jumping into the car was dangerous: there could’ve been a hundred clowns in there!Original Publication Date: 01 October 2017
