An angry barber allegedly retaliated against a 22-year-old customer by shaving his head down the middle and snipping his ear with scissors, leaving him bloodied. 
 
 He requested a No. 2 on the sides, and an inch taken off the top with scissors, police spokesman Joel Despain said. 
 
 The 22-year-old customer, who wasn't named in the Madison Police Department press release , had gone to the salon to get his hair cut. 
 
 Police arrested 46-year-old Khaled A. Shabani at Ruby's Salon in Madison, Wisconsin, after the alleged incident, which they said occurred on Dec. 22. 
 
 However, his cut soon went south. He claimed Shabani began complaining he was fidgeting and moving his head, and twisted his ear. Then, Shabani allegedly grabbed a "zero" clipper, "snipped" his ear, and shaved a line in his head. 
 
 "[The victim] was starting to bleed when the 'zero' was used to cut a close path down the middle of his head, leaving him looking a bit like Larry from the Three Stooges," Despain said. 
 
 The victim then got up and left, with Shabani allegedly shouting after him, "You want a zero right?" 
 
 The man called police when he got home, and Shabani was arrested on suspicion of mayhem and disorderly conduct while armed. 
 
 "While it is not a crime to give someone a bad haircut, you will get arrested for intentionally snipping their ear with a scissors," Despain said. 
 
 On Wednesday, Shabani pleaded not guilty to disorderly conduct, the Wisconsin State Journal reported. The charge is a violation of a county ordinance, not criminal. 
 
 When reached by BuzzFeed News, the Madison Police Department had no further information. ||||| MENASHA, Wis. (WBAY) – Two adults and a teenager are expected to be charged after scary clown incidents in the Fox Valley. 
 
 Police say a Menasha couple is facing child neglect charges after they left their young child home alone while they took part in a clown prank. 
 
 Just before 4 o’clock Friday morning, Menasha Police were called to the area of Appleton and Midway roads for a report of people wearing clown masks chasing after vehicles. 
 
 Police found two men, 20 and 29 years old, dressed in clown costumes and a 26-year-old woman who’d been driving the men around. 
 
 During the investigation, police learned the older man and the woman had a 4-year-old child, “and they had left this 4-year-old girl home alone while they decided to go out and do their clowning activities,” Police Chief Tim Styka said. 
 
 Police say the child was unattended for a few hours while the parents were cruising around. 
 
 The couple was arrested and police are seeking charges of Child Neglect against the couple. 
 
 “The child was actually placed outside of the home by Winnebago County Social Services,” Styka said. 
 
 The 20-year-old man was not charged. 
 
 Fox Valley Metro Police say a 14-year-old boy wearing a clown mask caused a disturbance at Kimberly’s Sunset Park late Sunday afternoon. 
 
 Authorities say the teen was blocking a one-lane road in the park that a father and son were driving on. 
 
 “Teenager gets out of the vehicle and says, ‘Can you move so we can drive through?’ At this point the clown presented what turned out to be a real knife and just held it in his hand — didn’t run after the car, didn’t display it like this, just held it,” Ed Slinde of Fox Valley Metro Police described. 
 
 Officers are asking the boy be charged with disorderly conduct with a deadly weapon. 
 
 It was the second time police were called to Sunset Park on Sunday. Earlier, people called police to report a clown carrying what appears to be a sledgehammer through the park. 
 
 He told police he was with friends playing a game of hide-and-seek and the sledgehammer was a plastic prop. 
 
 While no one has been injured in any of these incidents, police are concerned these situations could escalate. 
 
 “We’re very concerned with the public and for these people, that somebody is going to get hurt, and it needs to stop,” Slinde said. 
 
 “There’s been different posts and different things out there now where people are saying, ‘If a clown comes up to me now I’m going to,’ fill in the blank. And there’s been comments made by (concealed-carry) people saying, ‘I’m going to draw down on them,'” Styka said. 
 
 So before anyone gets hurt, police want people to realize these clown games aren’t funny and to put them to rest. 
 
 “This is kind of one of those internet sensations that’s really taking on a life of its own and people are just really starting to make some really poor and dumb decisions to participate in some of these activities,” Styka said. ||||| A shooting at Azana Salon & Spa, across the street from Brookfield Square Mall, left at least three dead.

 Zina Haughton was a sought-after hair stylist who decorated her work station with photos of her two daughters and saved for a year to take them to Disney World. 
 
 To her customers, Haughton, 42, was a wonderful, warm person who remembered their children's names and was happy to talk about her two daughters. She rarely talked about her husband, Radcliffe F. Haughton, the man police say stormed into Azana Salon & Spa in Brookfield Sunday morning armed with a gun, killing three women and injuring four more. 
 
 Authorities did not release the names of the dead and wounded Sunday; they did confirm that Haughton's two daughters were safe. 
 
 "She never talked negatively about her husband," said Sarah Justin, a customer of Haughton for six years. "She did say she was exhausted because she was working so many hours, because this had been going on for years. He was in school and she was supporting the family." 
 
 But there clearly was turmoil. 
 
 Haughton reported to police Oct. 4 that her tires were slashed while she worked at the spa. Four days later, she obtained a temporary restraining order against her husband, and last week a Milwaukee County court issued a four-year restraining order. 
 
 Justin became a customer through a friend, Kristin Guadagno. She liked how Haughton cut her hair, and asked for the name of the stylist. She's been a customer six years now, and had Haughton style her hair on her wedding day. 
 
 As is common with many stylists, Haughton developed relationships with her customers. Azana employees are described as tight-knit - the owner used the word "family" Sunday night - and Haughton's chair and station were immediately to the left when customers walked in the entrance. 
 
 "She was a wonderful mom," Guadagno said. "She had two daughters who were the foundation of her family. She was their everything. She worked so many hours every week to provide for them and take them on nice trips." 
 
 Haughton took her daughters to see the Broadway show "Wicked" in Chicago, and to the Wisconsin Dells. She worried about her elderly parents in Chicago, especially since her mother is recovering from a broken hip. She told her customers she wished she could spend more time with her parents. 
 
 When Guadagno's father died on Halloween three years ago, she called to see if Haughton could possibly squeeze her in, even though it was a busy Saturday. Haughton made time for her. And then on the day of the funeral, Haughton took care of her hair again, as well as her mother's. 
 
 Guadagno's daughters, ages 4 and 6, got their hair cut by Haughton as well. When her oldest daughter heard about the shooting Sunday morning, it was difficult for the young girl to process the news. 
 
 "She's devastated in a 6-year-old way. She's asking why Zina can't cut her hair, and does this mean she can never get her hair cut anymore." 
 
 'Tried dragging her' 
 
 While authorities continued to piece together a timeline of the tragedy, witnesses reported Radcliffe Haughton - who was called "Rad" by his estranged wife - came into the salon and went past the receptionist. 
 
 One salon victim heard shooting a short time later, according to Doug Epker of East Troy, who visited the woman at the emergency room where she was treated for a gunshot wound to the leg. 
 
 "She said the gunman came in and she hid for a little bit but he wasn't looking for her; he passed her up," Epker said. "And she came back out of hiding and that's when she got shot." 
 
 After the 22-year-old woman was wounded, Epker said, the shooter "tried dragging her upstairs, but her hip, where she was shot, it broke her bone and she couldn't walk, luckily, otherwise she might not be alive." 
 
 The woman told Epker she saw Radcliffe Haughton drop the clip from his pistol. The woman managed to escape by finding an open door and rolling down a hill toward police. 
 
 Later Sunday, the four wounded - the other three are ages 30, 32 and 40 - were being treated for gunshot wounds to their extremities at Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa. All were expected to survive. Three women underwent surgery while the fourth was admitted to the hospital but didn't require surgery, hospital officials said. 
 
 Throughout the day Sunday, government leaders and candidates in the upcoming elections released statements about the Brookfield shootings. 
 
 Gov. Scott Walker called Sunday's events "a terrible act of senseless violence." 
 
 "Our hearts go out to the victims' families and our prayers are with them and the survivors," Walker said. "In the coming days, we will band together as a state and a community to seek justice for the victims and comfort those left behind." 
 
 President Barack Obama's office released a statement saying the president called Walker and Brookfield Mayor Steven Ponto offering condolences. 
 
 "The president told the Governor and Mayor that he had spoken with FBI director (Robert) Mueller and had directed him to make sure that the federal government continues to provide whatever resources are necessary to support the ongoing response and investigation to this horrible event." 
 
 U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, the running mate of Obama's election opponent, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, also issued a statement of condolences. 
 
 "We will not allow the evil responsible for this heartbreaking event to triumph over the spirit of the people of Wisconsin," Ryan said. "I ask all Americans to keep those affected by this event in their hearts, minds, and prayers today." 
 
 Meanwhile, Zina Haughton's customers were left wondering why the husband of the hair stylist they had grown to consider a friend could commit such a horrible, senseless act. 
 
 "She was a warm and loving person. She remembered all my kids' names, she would always ask how your kids are doing and she'd ask about my mom and dad. I'm really shocked by this," said Justin. "That upsets me in a way because something must have been going on. To think she was holding herself together."

– A young man who went for a pre-Christmas haircut got a disorderly one, while his barber got slammed for disorderly conduct, the Wisconsin State Journal reports. Per Madison police spokesman Joel DeSpain, the 22-year-old patron headed over to Ruby's Salon on Friday and asked for an inch off the top and the sides shaved, and his stylist, 46-year-old Khaled A. Shabani, set to work. The police report notes the customer asked for a No. 2 buzzer for the sides and that scissors be used to trim the top. The customer soon realized things were "not going well," however, when Shabani started chastising him for not keeping his head still, which earned him an ear-twisting, per the report. The situation got worse when Shabani allegedly "snipped" his ear with the scissors, drawing blood, and used a "zero" buzzer (which provides the closest cut) to swoop right down the middle of his head. The result? The customer got a buzz that left him "looking a bit like Larry from the Three Stooges," DeSpain says. Which is when the customer says he got up to leave, with Shabani allegedly yelling after him, "You want a zero, right?" Shabani was cited for mayhem and disorderly conduct while armed, which the Journal notes is not a criminal charge but a county ordinance violation. "While it is not a crime to give someone a bad haircut, you will get arrested for intentionally snipping their ear with a scissors," DeSpain says. The customer had another stylist elsewhere shave his head all the way to rid himself of the Stooges look. Per a police report, Shabani told cops the ear-snipping was an accident, but BuzzFeed reports on Yelp reviews that note other bad experiences at the salon, including one ex-patron that says his visit felt like it "[bordered] on assault."
