KKK Sprayed on Another Church in Wakulla County

By: Kevin Clark December 11, 2014

Josephus Shingles has been a deacon at Mount Olive Primitive Baptist Church Number 2 for 30 years. He says his church getting vandalized with the words KKK was surprising.

Shingles said, "When this happened we were a little caught off guard."

Mount Olive is the third Wakulla County church to be tagged with the letters this week.

Wakulla County Sheriffs, FDLE, and the FBI are all involved in an investigation that has yielded several persons of interest.

Officials have been painting over the vandalism to try and cover it up, but remnants of the letters can still be seen on church walls.

"I think it's cowards hiding behind a spray can," said Charlie Creel, Wakulla County Sheriff.

Creel says there is no cause for alarm, adding Wakulla is not a hateful community.

Creel said, "It's probably the work of somebody that's just bored and wanting to start some trouble down here, I don't think it's an active hate group that's involved in these activities."

For Shingles, he's concerned but says the community will bounce back. He cites the construction of his church as an example.
