A guy in Santa Clarita called police Sunday morning after firing a warning shot in the air at a knife-wielding clown:
The clown fled the scene on foot, and the homeowner called 911, said Sgt. Cortland Myers of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s station. Deputies responded to the scene and could not find a knife-wielding clown, Myers said.
….Was there in fact a knife-wielding clown in the suburbs of Santa Clarita?…Deputies did discover a man with a clown mask hiding in some bushes a few blocks away from where the warning shots were fired — a sighting “unusual for that time of morning,” Myers said.
However, “the homeowner didn’t identify this clown as the correct clown,” Myers said. “His guy had a full clown costume and a mask, and the clown he saw was taller.”
So how did this story end, anyway? Well, the police didn’t find a clown, but they did find that the caller was in possession of weapons and narcotics and arrested him. I guess the clowns won this round.
