Historic cemetery vandalized
The Barren County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the vandalism of an area cemetery that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Sometime between late Tuesday and early Wednesday, vandals struck Kinslow Cemetery off Oil Well Road, overturning monuments and throwing others on roads, according to a release by the BCSO.
Damage to mailboxes in the area was also reported by residents. It is thought the incidents are related as they occurred during the same time period.
