Palm Bay Police Officers were called to trespass a man who was dressed as a clown.
“What do you call someone who returns to a shopping plaza after they’ve been Trespassed? ….a clown,” the department posted.
With a bright yellow suit with white and red stripped sleeves, the man looked prety much like Ronald McDonald, right down to the red clown nose. Body cam footage shows that the man and officers got into a scuffle, when they tried to remove him, but eventually officers got the clown on the ground and cuffed him.
“You look like a clown,” one officer said.
“I am a clown, stupid,” the suspect responded.
Investigators searched a bag that the man had, and found a pack of cigarettes, a box full of clown noses, and more clown clothing.
“Everyone has a right to feel safe in public spaces,” the department stated. “We’re committed to addressing those who repeatedly refuse to respect that.”
