The clowns were sighted in Greenville and RZ's film was previewed in Greenville last Thursday


Edit: loving hell, it turns out clowns are illegal in South Carolina

quote:

Miller warns that if someone is doing this for “kicks,” they should know that South Carolina law prohibits anyone over age 18 from dressing up as a clown, adding that a city ordinance related to “molesting or disturbing the public” could also lead to their arrest.

It's spreading,

Claims of creepy clowns trying to lure kids have expanded into a second state. In reports eerily similar to recent clown sightings that have garnered the national spotlight near Greenville, South Carolina, two children have reported seeing a clown trying to lure kids into the woods with treats about 175 miles to the northeast in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

"Police in South Carolina have tallied six similar sightings so far. In the first incident, reported Aug. 21, a police report described a “suspicious character ... dressed in circus clown attire and white face paint, enticing kids to follow him/her into the woods.”

A woman told a responding deputy that her son had “seen clowns in the woods whispering and making strange noises.”

People are getting proactive up in North Carolina

quote:

GREENSBORO, N.C. - When a Greensboro resident spotted a clown near his apartment complex Tuesday, he thought of recent reports of clowns trying to lure children into the woods, and he grabbed a machete and chased after the character.

Clowns have been spotted in several towns across South and North Carolina, most recently in Winston-Salem and High Point.

Chris Bass said he called 911, grabbed a weapon and chased the clown into the woods.

"I know all the kids in here and it’s just, that's why I took it so serious, because I know all the kids here," Bass said.

Greensboro police said a witness reported seeing a person wearing a clown mask, red curly wig, yellow spotted shirt, blue clown pants and clown shoes.

Officers also searched the area for the clown but to no avail.

Three other sightings were reported in North Carolina this week, with four sightings in South Carolina the week before.

Police in Greenville, South Carolina said clowns were trying to entice children into the woods and had also started knocking on doors.

Police said they will arrest and charge anyone involved in these incidents.

Are kids that much harder to kidnap these days? I feel like if these clowns truly wanted to lure a kid into the woods, they already would have.

:siren::siren: An arrest has been made :siren::siren:

But here's the twist: the cops didn't arrest a clown, they arrested an alleged clown falsifier

quote:

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (Reuters) - A North Carolina man who told police someone dressed as a clown had knocked on his window at night landed in jail on Friday after admitting he fabricated the story, the latest twist in a string of such reported sightings in recent weeks.

David Wayne Armstrong, 24, described to Winston-Salem police how he had chased the clown into nearby woods, but authorities said in a statement he had lied. He was arrested on a charge of filing a false police report.

Winston-Salem police also said Friday it had found no evidence to substantiate a report earlier this week of a clown attempting to lure children into a wooded area by offering them treats.
