  • Wednesday, October 28, 2020
Police responded to a vandalism report on Hardy Street. A man said that both of his vehicles had been damaged at unknown times. He said that his Chevrolet truck had sugar put into the gas tank. The man had already removed the gas tank from the vehicle and showed the officer the sugar in the tank. The man also said that the roof of his other truck, a GMC Sierra, had been struck by a bullet. The officer observed the hole in the roof of the vehicle and could see that the projectile was still stuck inside the roof of the truck.
The man said that he had no idea when this happened and he just realized it a couple days ago. It appeared that the bullet hole had been there for some time due to the fact that there were small amounts of rust visible around the hole. The man also said his wife has been receiving calls from unknown parties telling her that she needs to stop working because of COVID. The wife said that she does not know these people.
