Driver wearing clown mask prompts 9-1-1 call

By Billie Owens

A person wearing a clown mask and driving a car downtown caught the eye of another driver, who called 9-1-1. Police are checking out the "suspicious condition" somewhere off Ellicott Street.

I see women at stores all the time that resemble clowns with their bum clothes, blue, orange, green and purple hair wearing way too much gaudy makeup, and I don't call the cops on them.

What a nightmare! Can you imagine how tough it'll be, for the cops to find "some clown" driving around Batavia? That'd be like trying to find a specific ice cube floating in the Arctic Ocean.

It may not be ordinary, but to label it "suspicious" is a little over the top. Then again we do live in a police state, and impersonating the mayor of Corfu may be against the law.
