The people who cut down our trees are thieves who will be prosecuted

This is an open letter to the party or parties who went onto a piece of property sitting next to a small river in a rural housing area and cut down tress that did not belong to them. You did not have the owner’s permission to cut down those trees or any others on that small piece of property, but you cut them, piled up the brush, loaded the logs and left with them to sell as your own and pocket the money.

The owners of that lot, in case you are interested, are my parents, John C. and Gloria Milligan. They are in their 70s and are not able to get out and about anymore. That piece of property was part of their dream. The trees were a joy to them. They used to enjoy sitting under those trees watching the river flow by but you stole that from them.

If you think no one cares, well here’s a news flash for you ? I care, my parents, the people you stole from, care. True, they have not been able to build or develop the land but that did not give you the right to take from them.

The fact remains you are a thief. Worse, you steal from those who cannot defend what is theirs. Here is another news flash for you ? you will be caught and prosecuted! There is a reward offered to anyone who knows any information that will lead to your arrest and conviction.

Anyone in the Southern Standard reading area living close to or in the subdivision in the Smart Station area that was started by Mr. Brownie Hennessee, and has any information that related to this crime, please contact the sheriff and his investigators at the Warren County Sheriff’s Department.
