The Bradley County Sheriff’s Office is adding to the reward being offered by the public and private sectors seeking information about racist graffiti that was spray-painted on the Cleveland home of two elderly women.
Sheriff Tim Gobble said his department would match the original amount of $500 which the city of Cleveland offered to start the reward fund. Since it began last week individuals contributing various amounts have increased the reward to $2,200, but that does not include Monday’s BCSO contribution.
City officials and civic leaders have joined to condemn the act and the FBI is investigating the incident as a hate crime.
Sheriff Gobble has pledged the resources of his department to work with local, state and federal agencies in bringing those responsible to justice.
