Sounds of Spring: The Crunch of Ball Bat on Mailbox

Sheriff deputies are investigating a recent rash of mailbox vandalism cases. In three separate cases, deputies note damage early Tuesday to ten mailboxes along Holly Acres and White Oak Roads in Millers Creek. In one instance, three neigboring mailboxes were damaged during the night, and as a deputy canvassed the neighborhood along White Oak Tuesday morning, he found another broken mailbox. In the second instance, a woman who lives on Holly Acres reported arriving home from work about 5am to find her mailbox and those belonging to six neighbors had been bashed around. Deputies have no suspects in the apparently related cases.



In an apparently unrelated case, deputies were directed to an unidentified man by the victim of another mailbox bashing. Cindy Owens told deputies over the weekend she'd been having problems with this man, and she wouldn't put it past him to knock down her mailbox and break the post. Damage is estimated at 100-dollars, and deputies have not filed any charges in the case.
