Matija Belavic said he made the “clown tickler” to protect his kids from clowns, and that’s more than understandable because I hate clowns just as much as the next guy.
But it’s the fact that he wielded the “homemade medieval weapon” that’s basically a baseball bat with nails sticking out of it during a recent argument with his wife that has landed him in deep shit with Washington County authorities.

According to the New York Daily News, Belavic and his wife were arguing at their Cornelius home Saturday night when he allegedly pulled out the clown tickler in an effort to intimidate her. Well, it definitely worked because she was so scared that she ran to the phone and called police to come to her aid.
By the time deputies arrived on the scene, Belavic was gone, but they found him walking down the street roughly 15 minutes later. Once in police custody, Belavic said he fitted the baseball bat with eight-inch nails in October to “show his children that he’d protect them from any clowns trying to attack them.”
Belavic was charged with menacing. It’s unknown if his wife is a clown.
