May 27 Deputy Leadbetter began an investigation on a complaint from Jackson Township that unknown person(s) removed a large quantity of gravel from county road LIV 519.  Jackson Township reported having just spread 80 ton of new gravel.  Further investigation revealed that upwards of 1 mile of freshly spread gravel from the Township was missing and/or in a few piles in the roadway which were unsafe for motorists. 

Allegedly the investigation lead to a residence in the area where the deputy noted fresh gravel and equipment that may have been used in removing the gravel from the public roadway and placed it in a drive.  Further investigation provided at least one witness statement.
