2016-55575 Two clowns arrested at Jenkins Park On October 3rd at 6:07 p.m., officers responded to Jenkins Park, located at 4334 Crosby Cedar Bayou Road after receiving calls of two individuals, dressed in black clothes and clown masks, chasing citizens in the park with a stick. Once officers arrived, they were able to locate the two individuals, a 16 year old male and a 13 year old male, both from Baytown. Both teens were arrested and charged, through the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, with making terroristic threats, before being released to their parents. While these reports are often found to be false and more of an urban legend that has been around for several years, the Baytown Police Department takes each one seriously and will investigate these reports. Those found to be engaging in any alarming or threatening behavior will be subject to arrest in accordance with the law. The Baytown Police Department takes the safety and security of our citizens very seriously and will not tolerate attempts to cause alarm to our citizens or any negative influence in their overall quality of life. We encourage anyone wishing to report these types of incidents to contact the Baytown Police Department at 281-422-8371.
