Kilgore Vandals Sought

KILGORE – Kilgore police and the U.S. Veterans Memorial Association want the persons who caused some damage over the weekend. They damaged the Veteran’s Memorial in the city park. Sometime Saturday night, someone drove a vehicle into the park and crashed into the Veterans Memorial wall, a bench, and a sign. They then drove through the park and left near the northern parking lot next to Driller Stadium. Tire tracks indicate the vehicle may have struck a tree stump before leaving the park. They have estimated the damage at up to $5,000. Investigators feel it was not an accident, but the act was intentional.
