Tennessee officials issue warning about clowns luring children into the woods

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – The Tennessee Department of Safety & Homeland Security is asking parents to be on the lookout for people dressed as clowns.

The department sent a tweet about the issue on Saturday, as did the Tennessee Highway Patrol.


According to officials, these could actually be child predators.

Earlier this week, a Coffee County teen said he was attacked by someone dressed as a clown.

Anyone who sees a suspicious clown in their area should call 911 or *847.
