to keep an eye on its cemetery after dark
By Jena Stout
April 30, 3007 | RICHMOND -- Some concerns were mentioned
during Tuesday night’s City Council meeting that strange
activity was happening in the cemetery late at night.
A worried citizen commented that he has driven by
the cemetery on occasion when the gate is open and a
car is parked in the lot.
"The cemetery gate it usually supposed to be
locked around 9 p.m. so I have no idea why it would
be left open," said City Manager Marlowe Atkins.
Mayor Michael Hall said someone would have to be assigned
to making sure the gates are locked at night because
there have been other reports of "strange"
activity going on in the cemetery after hours.
"I have heard some mention of cars being in the
parking lot all night, and people being seen walking
out so we will have to keep a closer eye on that,"
said Hall.
Atkins agreed to make sure the gates were locked on
his way home from work at night.
