The clowns are back, at least in Maine

From Maine, perhaps the most Infocult thing all week:

A man accused of drunkenly strolling down a road in Maine wearing a black-hooded sweatshirt and a clown mask and brandishing a machete taped to his amputated arm has been arrested.

Like so:

Is the Great Clown Panic of 2016 back?  Only as an echo: 

Police say Berry was first spotted in Hollis but then fled into the woods. He was taken into custody after re-emerging in Waterboro. Police say Berry was intoxicated but cooperative. He told officers that he was copying previous clown sightings as a prank.

Clown panic reenactments, anyone?
