OSSINING, NY — Ossining police responded to a call reporting someone in a clown mask driving on Main Street.

Their Facebook post about it contains the kind of writing we've come to relish from the OPD: "This bozo was issued a non-optional invitation to the Town of Ossining Justice Court..."

And it also contains a statement about being reasonable as a pop-culture icon metastasizes.
