BAKERSFIELD, CA – Bakersfield police say they have arrested a juvenile who dressed as a clown and chased other juveniles in the area of Monitor Street and Pacheco Road Thursday.
Officers were dispatched to the area and arrested the unidentified juvenile at a home in the 800 block of Pacheco Road.
They say he admitted to chasing other juveniles while dressed as a clown to perpetuate the hoax he had seen online.
Officers arrested the juvenile for annoying a minor and he was booked into Kern County Juvenile Hall.
There have been several clown sightings throughout Kern County in the past week after last weekend’s story about a clown coming out at night in Wasco that spawned similar sightings.
The clown in Wasco turned out to be a man and his wife’s photography project.
Bakersfield Police ask anyone with information about the clown incident in the area of Monitor Street and Pacheco Road from Thursday, Oct. 9, to call them at 661-327-7111.
