Local Man Charged in Clown Assault Case

Joshua Cypert, 22, of Fox Lake was seen outside the home of a well-known clown (not to be named) on the night of June 4th. Cypert allegedly exchanged profane words with him after a misunderstanding at his friend’s cousin’s neighbor’s son’s birthday party. Joshua then slapped him silly, knocking him unconscious. Authorities arrived to the scene as he was standing over the clown shouting unintelligibly. His blood-alcohol concentration was .11 at the time of his arrest, and if you’re still reading this it’s a joke.
