BIDDEFORD — A one-armed Hollis man who is accused of startling neighbors by going for a stroll wearing a clown mask and brandishing a machete says it was supposed to be a prank.

Police say Berry was intoxicated but cooperative when they arrested him last month. They say he had a machete taped to the stump of his missing arm, and was wearing a mask to copy previous clown sightings.
Police say Berry was seen in Hollis and then fled into the woods. He was taken into custody when he re-emerged.
