Volunteers at the Warren County Democratic headquarters say they are shocked and disappointed by a political prank played on them early Tuesday morning.
Someone dumped a pile of horse manure in the parking lot of the headquarters building on U.S. 42, just north of Lebanon.
Warren County Democratic chair Beth Goldenfield tells Local 12 that the pile was dumped in the parking lot, blocking the entrance to the building, sometime between 10 p.m. Monday and 9 a.m. Tuesday. A report was filed by the party with the Warren County sheriff's department.
Goldenfield says no one has claimed responsibility for the prank. She says this election cycle has been "very contentious", and says an unprecedented number of party signs have been stolen leading up to today's incident. Goldenfield goes on to say, "It's really unfortunate that people can't have respectful disagreements... We're not going to be discouraged by it. It's just very disappointing. It will probably motivate our people even more but it's also a very disrespectful thing to do."
The building does have security cameras. Goldenfield says the building landlord cleaned up the mess, and the party will not have to pay for the cleanup.
