Letter: Lack of respect

Todd Corbin writes:
I am looking for the owner/operator of an older model red jeep with big mud tires and others with him. They made a mess on our newly sealed parking lot at our church. Would like to give them the chance to clean up their mess, before we contact local authorities.

Anyone who sees or knows said person/persons can give them this message. Show some respect for the Lord's house and property if you make a mess, clean it up. We need people to be held accountable for their actions. Thank you.
Note: Todd can be reached at 270-403-8210 if you have information about the incident.
