A lone driver was arrested and served with a scare ticket after using a creepy clown puppet as his passenger in a high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane in Washington state.
Washington State Patrol Trooper Rick Johnson, public information officer for Washington State Patrol District 2, said in an X-note that the driver was in the HOV lane on Interstate 405 in Renton, Washington when a trooper noticed an unusual occupant in the passenger seat.
After pulling over the creative driver, Johnson confirmed the passenger was a creepy clown puppet. The creepy clown features flaming red hair and a red foam nose.
The officer said that while he likes the spooky atmosphere, inflatables don’t count as valid HOV passengers.
“Loved the Halloween vibe but still doesn’t count,” Johnson wrote.
What is more frightening is how the use of puppets adds more money to the violation.

The exact price of this particular ticket is unknown, but according to the Washington State Department of Transportation, first-time HOV violators receive a $186 fine.
If the same driver receives another HOV violation within two years, the ticket increases to $336.
However, anyone using a doll or mannequin in the car will automatically have $200 added to the ticket.
