BRENHAM POLICE INVESTIGATING VANDALISM AT AMERICAN LEGION MEMORIAL PLAZA

  

Brenham police are looking into an incident of vandalism at the American Legion Hall.

Authorities have discovered damage to several “tiers”, which hold bricks engraved with names of local veterans.

Two of the eight tiers surrounding the memorial plaza—facing Park Street—have had the trim holding the bricks in place removed.  At this point, none of the bricks with engraving have been damaged or removed.

Washington County Veterans Association President Ben Seeker said he was alerted of the damage by the City of Brenham Monday afternoon.  He believes the incident occurred over the weekend.

Seeker said a report has been filed with police.  Damage at the site is estimated to be at least $1,500.  It has not been determined how the pieces of trim were removed; however, Seeker said authorities did find a metal can opener at the scene.

Seeker urges anyone with information on the incident to call police.
