Tape of vandalism not in authority's hands
MORGANTON - A surveillance tape purportedly showing suspects vandalizing a vehicle Thursday that displays signs of support for Burke County Public Schools Superintendent David Burleson and denouncing the Burke County Board of Education has not been turned in to law enforcement officials.
Both Morganton Department of Public Safety and the Burke County Sheriff's Office said they had not received a tape concerning the incident.
Jimmy Steele, the owner of the truck, has parked his truck in the past weeks in various locations throughout Morganton.
Steele, who claimed to have the tape in his possession, declined to comment on the incident and video.
