JACKSONVILLE — Late Monday night, around 40 mailboxes were destroyed on County Road 3108 by Lake Jacksonville. Cherokee County Precinct 3 Constable Eddie Lee tells KETK, he believes the vandals used their pickup truck. “Some of the mailboxes like the wooden mailboxes, they’re just driving right over…if they’re metal mailboxes, it looks like they’re backing up to them and just bending them over,” Lee said. The constable says many of the folks that live along the road are elderly…and they get medicine delivered to their mailbox. Resident, George Douglas, says it’s happened to him 4 times in the last year. Douglas says he and some of his neighbors have set up a $500 reward through the Constable’s office.
