Man With IT Pennywise Mask and Loaded Gun Arrested in New York

People inside a government building in Brooklyn received a scare when an ex-convict entered the premises armed with a loaded gun, wearing a Pennywise mask from the movie IT CHAPTER TWO. After someone called the cops on the man, he got into a scuffle with the responding officers and then attempted to run. He was brought down with a stun gun and was promptly arrested, according to police. The man, identified as 30-year-old Rahmeek younger according to a report from NBC New York, had the loaded semi-automatic pistol and rounds of ammunition inside a backpack. His motivations are unclear, according to police.

According to reports from the New York Post, Younger was charged with criminal possession of a weapon, resisting arrest, and obstruction of governmental administration. He also has seven prior arrests, according to police.

The new @ITMovieOfficial may be 2 weeks away, but a parolee in Brooklyn wanted to be Pennywise today. Instead of terrorizing kids with a haunting grin, he used a gun—which didn’t scare off officers from the @NYPD88Pct who made the arrest. pic.twitter.com/Pu3Rn6QRKw

"The arrests included an armed robbery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, from 2006, the sources said. During that crime, Younger, who was 16 at the time, pointed his firearm at a victim and stole an iPod. He kicked and punched cops who responded and arrested him, according to sources," says the report.

"He was also busted for criminal possession of a loaded firearm in 2012, the sources said."
