Vandalism Incident at Decatur Cemetery
Decatur Metro | October 17, 2012A reader writes in…
There was a vandalism incident at Decatur cemetery sometime between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning. A headstone was significantly defaced with toothpaste. The police were called and collected evidence, including the toothpaste box, which is being checked for fingerprints and from which they have a high level of confidence of getting some, considering it was very fresh. The perpetrator, when found, will likely face charges of criminal mischief, which, depending on the severity, could be punishable by up to 5 years.
Anyone with knowledge of this incident is asked to contact Decatur Police Investigator Vandiver.
