clown nose in New Cumberland poses no serious threat

[jeff of pa]

A 21-year-old Harrisburg man who wears a red clown nose while walking in New Cumberland is not violent and poses no serious threat to the public, borough police said.

so why the fines ?

Witnesses told officers they've seen the man point a toy gun at passing traffic and stare at people walking by, police said. He's been cited for disorderly conduct three times since May, police said.
