Police: Clown threatens clerk
A man dressed as a clown threatened to kill a liquor store clerk and burn down the store on Friday, according to an arrest affidavit.
Ted Stewart, 44, became upset when a clerk at Twin Liquors on East Seventh Street refused to sell him liquor because the clerk believed Stewart was too intoxicated, the affidavit said. Stewart threatened to return to the store, kill the clerk and destroy the store, the affidavit said.
The store clerk called police and described Stewart as a "rodeo clown transvestite," according to the affidavit. It said Stewart was wearing clown makeup and carrying a Mexican flag.
Austin police found Stewart walking toward a Texaco gas station and arrested him, according to the document.
Stewart was charged Friday with making two misdemeanor terroristic threats and public intoxication. He remained in the Travis County Jail on Sunday with bail set at $10,000.
