Video of clown riding on back of Detroit bus under police investigation

DETROIT — The Detroit Free Press reports that a YouTube video of a clown hanging onto the back of a moving Detroit Department of Transportation bus is now under police investigation.

With bright, bushy orange hair, a red nose and what appears to be a white lab coat, the clown can be seen gripping onto the rear of bus as it drives down a street.

The transportation department and a local TV station sent the video link to Detroit police, and its criminal investigations bureau is looking into it. Officials said the clown may have committed a civil infraction by riding on the back of the moving vehicle. For the full story, click here.
