Ohio Teen Lied About Clown Attack Because She Was Late for Work, Police Say

(CINCINNATI) -- As reports of recent clown attacks continue to cause nightmares this month, people can rest easy about at least one clown in Ohio.

Alexsandra Conley, an 18-year-old from Hamilton, Ohio, told police Saturday morning that a clown jumped over a fence, waved a knife and cut her thumb, according to ABC News affiliate WCPO-TV in Cincinnati.

After police investigated her story and found inconsistencies, by Sunday she later admitted that she had made up the story because she was running late to her job at McDonald's, and didn't want to be fired, WCPO-TV reports.

Police said the teen described her attacker as a male wearing a red wig and clown costume, with white facial makeup and a teardrop under his left eye, according to WCPO-TV.
