More and more creepy clowns have followed suit and they’ve been spotted carrying knives and other deadly weapons that are scaring the people in Bakersfield. 
One clown was arrested for chasing children on the west side of the town.
The popularity of the Wasco clown is spreading faster than wildfire as various news agencies such as MTV has called it “haunting”, People Magazine calling it “stalker”, and ABC News calling it “jester terrifying”.
But according to a Facebook page, people shouldn’t be afraid of the Wasco clown because it is philanthropic, not frightening. 
According to reports, the clown’s name is Bobo. He said he’s merely posing for his wife who has a photography project and who plans it to go viral.
