Two People Arrested For Making Hoax 911 Call Claiming Clowns Were Trying to Abduct Children
LatestOne of the worst things about fall, besides everything, is that it’s clown hoax season. Without fail, as soon as the leaves start to drop from the trees, terrible people all over this country start dressing up like circus demons in order to scare kids and go mega-viral. Or, in the case of two people in Georgia, they merely pretend to have seen clowns kidnapping children, earning themselves zero lasting fame and some criminal charges.
The LaGrange Daily News in Georgia reports that a man and his sister-in-law have been charged with making a false report for a fake clown sighting. Police say Brandon Moody, 26 and Rebecca Moody, 27, both separately called 911 and told dispatchers that people in “clown costumes” were trying to lure children into a white van.
Responding officers did find people in a white van, who were sitting there because they’d run out of gas; a search of their vehicle revealed no children or clown paraphernalia, the Daily News reports.
