Nearby Barbourville PD posted a message warning people not to dress up as clowns on Facebook Tuesday. "Dressing as a clown and driving, walking or standing in public can create a dangerous situation for you and others," they said.

"While dressing up is not, in and of itself against the law, doing so in public and thereby creating an unnecessary sense of alarm is illegal. Approaching people in a threatening manner and threatening people is illegal."

The police department also warned people against falsely reporting incidents and "assaulting, shooting, attacking or otherwise injuring" people in costumes.
