HOLLIS, Maine (AP) — A man accused of drunkenly strolling down a Maine street in a clown mask with a machete taped to his amputated arm has been arrested.
Maine State Police told WCSH-TV that 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.
