Clown poses no threat, police say

FISHERS, Ind. - Police say there's no need for neighbors to be concerned about a clown that has been seen wandering around an Indianapolis suburb.

The Fishers Police Department issued a news release Monday about the mysterious clown. It says officers have determined that the costumed person didn't commit a crime and had no criminal intent. It says the identity of the clown will not be released because he or she doesn't pose a threat to the community.

The Indianapolis Star reports some local residents called police when they began seeing the lone clown walking along residential streets with a bunch of balloons about two weeks ago.

The news release says the person simply wanted to celebrate Halloween, his or her favorite holiday.
