According to Henderson Police Public Information Officer Jennifer Richmond, Anthony Burrus, 27, was arrested in connection with the incident that took place in Central Park at around 6 a.m. Roughly 160 crosses were knocked down and about 20 were destroyed. The vehicle Burrus was driving, a 1979 Ford Thunderbird, was found with pieces of a cross and ground stake embedded in the tires after he left it at the McDonald's restaurant on South Green Street. Richmond said Burrus denied causing the damage in the park, but confirmed he was driving the vehicle earlier this morning and left it after it stopped working. Henderson police officers and deputies from the Henderson County Sheriff's Office investigated the incident. Burrus was found and arrested at his sister's apartment complex on Zion Road, and is being held at the Henderson County Detention Center.

Jim K Global Moderator Posted May 29, 2016 Global Moderator Share Posted May 29, 2016 Good. Hopefully they find the other perps involved in the California and Virginia vandalizations as well and lock them up. Disgraceful. DocM 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
