14-year-old boy arrested for dressing up as a clown and chasing and scaring other children

A 14-year-old boy was arrested in Bakersfield, California, on Thursday for dressing as a clown and scaring younger children.



Officers were dispatched in the afternoon to reports of a clown chasing children. Police said one child "was clearly scared as a result of being chased by the clown."

Investigators found the suspect, whose name was withheld, at a home in Pacheco. Police said he admitted to the acts and said he did it to perpetuate a sinister clown hoax he had seen online.

Clowns don't need to be holding weapons to be terrifying. Have you seen Tim Curry as "Pennywise"? Run away!
