Sedalia Police received a harassment complaint on October 5 from a woman who said that someone had created a "fake clown Facebook account" to send her messages.
Several weeks ago, news reports starting appearing about people dressed as clowns "trying to lure children into the woods" in North Carolina. Or maybe it was South Carolina. Somewhere like that. Calls reporting people dressed as clowns have been coming in to police departments around the country, including here in The Show-Me State.
