A woman in northeastern Pennsylvania has been arrested after she attempted to rob a bank while disguised as a clown.

The woman, 43 year old Carolyn A. Williams, entered a KNBT Bank in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, about an hour north of Philadelphia. Williams, dressed in a clown costume, demanded money and claimed that she has a bomb. She then fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash.

When police arrived, they found the suspect trying to change out of the clown costume in parked car at a nearby park. Williams was taken into custody and is sitting in prison awaiting her court hearing. Her bail has been set at $500,000.

No one was hurt during the incident, and no explosives were found on the suspect or at the bank.

The desperation of some people. I am sure that this latest bank robber has seen all the recent news stories of strange bank robberies, including a man who dressed up as Darth Vader and robbed a New York bank. I guess they are not smart enough to realize that most people who dress up in strange costumes and rob banks almost always get caught. I guess they don't realize how much attention it brings, something that you don't want when robbing a bank.
