The Howard County Sheriff’s Department is seeking information after several gravestones in Walnut Ridge Cemetery were damaged by a vehicle last week. The vandalism was discovered on Wednesday, October 8.
Sheriff Jeff Oswald said his department is pursuing leads and is contacting body shops for reports of damage consistent with ramming gravestones. He said a pickup truck most likely caused the vandalism.
Three groups of stones were damaged, and swerve and skid marks were left in the grass.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Sheriff’s department at (660) 248-2477.

CMU Band Day 2025 was an outstanding success for our local bands. Fayette swept the Class 2 competition with first-place trophies in the parade, field, indoor drumline, and indoor colorguard competitions, and won the Outstanding Parade and Field Auxiliary awards as well as the Outstanding Field Percussion Award and the People's Choice Award.
Fayette’s Clark Middle School band also marched as an exhibition entry in the parade competition, leaving no doubt as to the Fayette Pride Marching Band’s bright future.
Harrisburg placed second in the field competition after an outstanding performance on Davis Field.
Glasgow won multiple trophies, placing third in both the Class 1 parade and field competitions and second in the Indoor Drumline event.
New Franklin finished seventh overall in the Class 1 Parade Competition.
Leading the way for all bands was the Sound of Central, under the direction of Drum Major Madison Conway, along with Central alumnus and current Director of Bands Chuck Moore.
We are proud of our bands.
