Drunken Trombone-Playing Clown Goes To Court

Yes, the headline is correct and the incident happened here in Michigan.

Let's head north about 2 hours to Grand Traverse County, that's where a 54-year-old man freaked out his Blair Township neighbors.

Daniel Patrick Stanchik was seen standing in a garage, pointing a gun at his neighbor's houses.

Callers to 911 described the man as wearing camo pants, a clown mask, and playing a trombone.

Turns out the gun was just a pellet gun, but when deputies arrived on scene they found the man was drunk and arrested him for a protection order violation.
