A visitor wearing a Joe Biden mask turned a Texas homeowner’s doorstep into the setting for a bizarre banana snack, prompting a police response and a warning that pranks can lead to dangerous confrontations.
Doorbell camera video shows the unidentified person approaching a Watauga home wearing a mask resembling the former president and what appears to be a “FREEDOM” T-shirt similar to those associated with Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA.
The person runs their fingers over the camera twice, then eats a banana through the mask before walking away.

“The department also reminds the public that behavior perceived as threatening can lead to dangerous confrontations, potentially resulting in serious injury,” police told Fox News Digital.
Authorities urged residents to call police about concerning behavior instead of confronting individuals themselves.
“We also encourage everyone to exercise good judgment and recognize that behavior intended as a joke or prank can sometimes cause unnecessary concern for others,” the department said.
The visitor’s identity and reason for the masked appearance remain unknown. Police said their assessment has not changed.
“Based on the available information, our assessment remains unchanged: officers found no evidence that a criminal offense occurred.”
