Info Sought In Cemetery Vandalism

   Vandals struck a Lawrence County cemetery overnight Sunday and officials are seeking information that might help identify the culprits.

   A call came in to Lawrence County Sheriff’s Deputies Monday from Good Springs resident Catherine Richardson. Richardson had visited Mt. Zion Cemetery on Sugar Creek around 1:00 p.m., and found that vandals had wreaked havoc.

   Richardson told deputies that a total of six headstones had been overturned at the cemetery, and that two had been broken.

   Deputies estimated that damages totaled some $1,200.

   The matter remains under investigation at the present time through detectives with the department’s Criminal Investigation Division. Anyone who has information regarding the crime is urged to contact the department at 762-3626.
