Halloween may have started a little bit early for some as a creepy clown was allegedly spotted in a Big Rapids neighborhood late Tuesday night.

Big Rapids DPS officers were called to the 1200 block of Colburn Avenue on a report of a person dressed as a clown staring at people as they walked by.

One witness told police, the clown was dressed in a blue costume with reddish/pink hair and stood eerily on the side of a property looking at some residents across the street.

The clown then ran off behind the house when police were called. 

The area was searched extensively, but officers were unable to locate the clown.
