Man Jailed For Wearing Clown Mask

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday February 25, 2010 @04:50AM from the it's-about-time dept.

Tampa police have decided to finally crack down on one of the biggest threats to our society, clowns and the people who dress like them. Tuesday afternoon, deputies observed Matthew David Lopez, who was wearing a clown mask with a bright red-and-orange wig, and a couple other Bozos walking down the street. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, officers arrested Lopez on charges of wearing a mask or hood on a public road after the age of 16 and resisting arrest without violence. He was released on $750 bail and a promise to perform at no fewer than two birthday parties.

In their defense, they were only running from the police car because it had a "No Bozos!" bumper sticker...
