Clown sightings around city reported, so far unfounded, police say

By Billie Owens

Seen a creepy clown hanging around the City of Batavia? There have been reports...

"A neighborhood kid thought he saw a clown in a vacant lot," said Batavia Police Officer Marc Lawrence. "(Subsequently) A neighbor observed an open window in a residence on Central Avenue."

But the child did not actaully see anyone inside or entering the residence.

"Have there been any other reports of clowns in the city?" an officer asked Lawrence.

"There've been a couple, all unfounded," Lawrence replied.

To whoever is making these calls, please stop wasting police resources on this nonsense. Dressing up like a clown is not illegal. You are putting other people at risk over a prank that's gone viral.

Richard Hale, you must be talking about Hillary. Anyone with a Security risk shouldn't be allowed to run for president. Especially if she's been under the microscope of the FBI, CIA and still being investigated with her Clinton Cash... I mean Clinton Foundation.
