Property crimes detectives at the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office are asking the public to help them identify a man who stole a barricade from the intersection of Lower Chestuee Road and Old Hickory Lane.  

     Employees of the Bradley County Road Department observed the suspect while they were picking up tripod-style barricades from where water had earlier covered the road.  A placard attached to the tripod read “High Water,” and a flashing light was mounted to the top of the tripod.

     Additionally the man had tried to steal the street marker sign at the intersection but the sign broke and it was left behind.  

     The suspect is a white male and he was driving a red Ford F-150 pickup truck with a red camper top.
