Palm Bay, United States - March 25, 2025 According to the Palm Bay Police Department, officers were called to the shopping center after a man who allegedly had been trespassed and was no longer allowed to be in the area showed up dressed as a clown. “What do you call someone who returns to a shopping plaza after they’ve been trespassed? ….a clown,” the police department wrote in a social media post. Donning a bright yellow suit with white and red striped sleeves, the man easily could have been mistaken for McDonald’s iconic mascot. However, two characteristics distinguished him from the popular clown: his unshaven face and a patch on the front of his suit. Where a patch with the fast-food restaurant’s golden arches normally would have been, the man instead had a patch depicting a human skull. His outfit was topped off with a red clown nose. But when officers approached him, no one seemed to find the situation very funny. Body cam video showed the suspect and officers getting into a scuffle as they tried to remove him from the property. Officers eventually got the suspect on the ground and placed him in handcuffs. “You look like a clown,” one officer said to him as he was placed into the back of a patrol car. “I am a clown, stupid,” the suspect responded. Investigators also searched a bag that the man had with him, revealing a pack of cigarettes, a box full of clown noses, and more clown clothing.
