Red Oak Police Chief Justin Rhamy, early this (Saturday) morning, posted a statement on the Police Department’s social media page, with regard to rumors about clowns harming people. The statement reads “The Red Oak Police Department has been receiving a massive amount of calls in regards to clowns being in and around Red Oak threatening to cause harm to people. There have been social media posts placed on swap pages in regards to a woman and her children being attacked on the square in Red Oak.”

The Chief went on to say that “As of midnight, the Red Oak Police Department HAS NOT responded to or even received any calls to service or incidents involving clowns and them attacking people. False statements have been placed on social media about arrests being made on the square in regards to clown attacks, THESE STATEMENTS ARE FALSE!”

Rhamy said also “We apologize for whoever has taken it upon themselves to post these false allegations on social media creating so much fear within our community. If you were to have any questions or concerns, please feel free to get in contact with our department.”
