What was supposed to be a fun night turned to alarm when residents flooded Clairton police with calls about people dressed as clowns driving around in a silver car and stealing Halloween candy from children. The man arrested, Wesley Dixon, told police it was all a misunderstanding, calling it a Halloween trick. Dixon tells police he was just trying to scare the kids. According to police, Dixon says everyone in Clairton knows him, and he used to coach the Bears youth football team. He said he does this every year. The clown in question resisted arrest but wasn’t charged with theft because no one came forward saying they had been victim. Dixon says he was told he’d receive a summons in the mail.
