Masked clowns threatened couple with machete, Texas City police say

TEXAS CITY -- A Texas City woman used a scooter to bludgeon a machete-wielding clown Friday as she defended herself during an attempted robbery, police said.

Two men were arrested and charged with aggravated robbery in connection with the incident, police said.

Luis Jiminez, 32, of Texas City, and Jose Lugo, 35, of La Marque, were both being held at the Galveston County Jail on $100,000 bonds, according to court records.

A Texas City couple was sitting in a pickup truck in front of their home in the 500 block 13th Street North about 2:20 a.m. Friday when they were approached by two men who had parked in their driveway, according to a police complaint.

The men were wearing white clown masks with orange hair and red noses, police said.
