Police in Cloverport say they have a clown problem in their small town.
Cloverport Police Chief Wagner Baskett, said the department has received three or four separate reports of clowns causing trouble in the city. He says so far, he’s gotten reports of three clowns identified as a white female and two white males wearing homemade costumes with their faces covered in either white paint, or a white mask. He says the males are described as being about 5′-7″ to 6′ tall, and are usually wearing dark hoodies and dark pants.
All of the reports have been in the area of Weatherholt Apartments and Main Street in Cloverport. Baskett the reports have all come in the past three weeks. The most recent report was from witnesses who said they saw a clown holding an ax on the street corner and flipping off people who passed.
Baskett says witnesses told police the encounter ended when one of them pulled a lawnmower blade out of his truck. Baskett says he believes the clowns are likely just pulling a prank, trying to see if they can scare someone.
If anyone has any information, they are asked to call Cloverport Police at (270) 788-3751.
