On Aug. 12, Public Safety Officer David Garland stopped a green Toyota pickup truck on West Maple Street. In the back of the truck was a blue tennis official’s chair that “looked like the ones at the ETSU tennis courts.” The driver of the vehicle stated he was a football coach at Science Hill High School.
“When he came in for practice today the chair was in his front yard at 719 West Maple Street.” The driver stated that he knew where the chair came from and was bringing it back to campus when he was stopped. The driver also stated that he did not know who put the chair in the yard, but he thought someone was playing a joke on him. The driver was allowed to return the chair to the tennis courts. There is a pending investigation on whether any other chairs are missing.
