Sen Max Wise: Halloween no time to clown around  Senator Wise expresses thoughts on Halloween safetyBy State Senator Max Wise, (R-Campbellsville) 16th District: Adair, Clinton, Cumberland, McCreary, Russell, Taylor, and Wayne Counties Reports of creepy clowns are spreading (mild) hysteria across the nation, including Kentucky, where last month a threat of school violence which circulated through social media led to more than half the students of Gallatin County schools staying home from school last month. The Gallatin County school scare was made through two Facebook accounts that had scary-faced clowns as their profile photo. The school system and the sheriff's office aggressively investigated the threat and implemented school safety protocols. The school day ended without an incident. The Kentucky Office of Homeland Security had been in contact with local law enforcement and was monitoring the situation closely. We have been tracking creepy clown instances across Kentucky, including sightings in Waco (KY) and the arrest of a 20-year-old man in Middlesboro dressed in frightening clown attire that was lurking in a wooded area next to an apartment complex. To date, no acts of violence have been tied to people dressed as clowns, but with Halloween rapidly approaching people should exercise caution as incidents like these tend to inspire copycats. We encourage young adults not to dress in creepy clown outfits leading up to and including Halloween. With law enforcement across the Commonwealth and the country on heightened awareness for people dressed in creepy clown costumes, it would be wise to avoid bringing on the clowns.
