HOLLIS, Maine (AP) — A man is accused of drunkenly strolling down a Maine road wearing a black-hooded sweatshirt and a clown mask and brandishing a machete taped to where his arm had been amputated.

Maine State Police say 31-year-old Corey Berry, of Hollis, was arrested Tuesday and charged with criminal threatening. He was released after posting $200 bail.

Police say Berry was first spotted in Hollis but then fled into the woods. He was taken into custody after re-emerging in Waterboro. Police say Berry was intoxicated but cooperative. He told officers that he was copying previous clown sightings as a prank.

Yes, someone with a machete would be spooky to witness.

This isn't responsible EDC

Had to look it up:


"...criminal threatening (or threatening behavior) is the crime of intentionally or knowingly putting another person in fear of bodily injury. "Threat of harm generally involves a perception of injury...physical or mental damage...act or instance of injury, or a material and detriment or loss to a person."

I don't really see how a hooded guy in a clown mask with a machete arm meets this criteria. I'd ask him if he can juggle and laugh at my own joke for hours afterward. If anything this guy was bringing a sense of joy and wonderment to the community that's so hard to find nowadays.

Jesus...this is a horror movie waiting to happen.

 

[Walter White Walker]

Coming in I was expecting he was wielding the machete in his good hand not taped to his stump, lol.

Jesus...this is a horror movie waiting to happen.

Or a fucked up remake of The Fugitive.

I can't believe I've never thought about this before, but I wonder how they would cuff a one armed man.

 

[Coriolanus]

...Fuck, now that's all I'll take away from this topic.

 

[The Albatross]

Thank god the clown wasn't in minstrel, it would have gone a lot worse for him.

For some reason I was like totally expecting it to be one of the Abramovici twins.
