He was clowning around — with the
law.
Police arrested a man who allegedly carried
an illegal firearm — and a creepy mask
resembling Pennywise, Stephen King’s
iconic “It” clown monster — into a Fort
Greene government building Monday, authorities
reported.
The 30-year-old suspect was allegedly
spotted in the Human Resources Administration
office on Clermont Avenue between
Atlantic Avenue and Fulton Street
at around 2 p.m. with a loaded .22-caliber
Ruger pistol and the creepy clown,
which resembled the monster Pennywise
from Stephen King’s horror novel, “It.”
Onlookers claimed the suspect — a parolee
from Bedford-Stuyvesant — was
carrying the items in an open bag and
was fiddling with them, the New York
Post reported .
A frightened witness called 911, and
cops rushed to the scene, where they struggled
to arrest the man, who “ran, flailed,
and stiffened his arms,” according to a
police spokesman. Cops eventually subdued
him with a Taser, and charged him
on two counts of possession of a criminal
weapon, resisting arrest, and obstruction
of governmental administration.
A spokesman for the Police Department
noted that the Bed-Stuy resident
has a record dating back to 2006, when
he was arrested for armed robbery at 16
years old, and that he’s been cuffed twice
since then, including his most recent prior
arrest for criminal possession of a firearm
in 2012.

“The new @ITMovieOfficial may be
2 weeks away, but a parolee in Brooklyn
wanted to be Pennywise today,” the NYPD
tweeted . “Instead of terrorizing kids with
a haunting grin, he used a gun — which
didn’t scare off officers from the @NYPD88Pct
who made the arrest.”
