According to reports, a woman who works at the Wisconsin State Fairgrounds took a sip from a Coca-Cola on her desk, and she thought something tasted off.

Dressing like the iconic clown was likely enough to catch the attention of plaza patrons. But, as noted in the police report, the man, who was reportedly previously banned from the premises, was also allegedly “yelling to himself, and was loitering.”

The authorities were notified about the situation, and just before 3:30 PM, officers from the Palm Bay Police Department went to the mall to investigate. When they arrived, they found the person in the costume standing beside a bicycle in front of a store. He was identified as a 40-year-old local man who is currently without permanent housing. The police released footage from the officers’ body-worn cameras and said it showed that the suspect was immediately uncooperative and had to be held on the ground before the officers were able to cuff him.
