PARSIPPANY — Upon further investigation on Tuesday, October 4, School Resource Officer Detective Lenahan, was able to identify the juvenile that was wearing the clown mask. It was determined that this was a misguided prank and no threat to the community exists. No charges have been filed as of this release. Because the “clown” was a juvenile the name will not be released to the public.
The Parsippany-Troy Hills Police Department is addressing the large number of rumors circulating through social media and by word of mouth in the schools.
The rumors of clowns coming to the schools, possible school lockdowns, or any other incident are all rumors based on no factual information.
If you do have any factual information or screen grabs of posts of people threatening anything, please contact the Parsippany Police Department (973) 263-4300.
