Stolen Animatronic Clown Found In Sex Offender's Home After Seven Years
WICHITA, Kan., Feb. 19 (UPI) -- Police in Kansas announced they have recovered a $10,000 organ-playing animatronic clown seven years after it was stolen from a defunct amusement park.
Wichita police said Louie the clown, the animatronic organ-playing mascot of Joyland Amusement Park, went missing about seven years ago and was officially reported stolen in 2010.
Investigators said the case was kept alive by social media interest in Louie's plight and officers served a search warrant Tuesday on the home of Damian Mayes, a convicted sex offender and a former employee of the park, which was shuttered in 2004.
Mayes is currently serving a prison sentence for aggravated indecent liberties with a child and aggravated criminal sodomy and is not eligible for parole until 2028.
