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.
The suspect was booked into Kern County Juvenile Hall and could face a charge of annoying a minor, according to police.
