Alexander Alhovsky, a clown (his working profession, and not necessarily a description of his character traits) has sued the New York Police Department for physical and mental injuries.
Apparently My Alhovsky was arrested when he returned to a Starbucks to retrieve a balloon inflator that he left there. Starbucks employees called police to report a suspicious package (the balloon inflator) and police subsequently called the bomb squad to investigate. Police released the clown after a search of his home found nothing suspicious. A jury sided with NYPD against the excessive force case.
