Ex-City Official Issued Citation For Incident CENTRAL — David Barrow, Chief Administrative Officer for former Central Mayor Mac Watts, and two Central women were issued cita- tions for criminal mischief after a surveillance tape showed the wom- en “rolling” Central City Hall with toilet paper. Barrow allegedly drove the vehicle, which also appeared in the videotape. Allison Kesner and Alexandra Peairs along with Bar- row were given misdemeanor sum- mons. All admitted their participa- tion. Mrs. Kesner and Mrs. Peairs came to City Hall to apologize to Mayor Jr. Shelton for their behav- ior. The women said they were angry that the city announced it would lo- cate the new City Hall at the corner of Hooper and Sullivan roads with- out holding a public hearing. How- ever, in their meeting with Mayor Shelton, he pointed out that the public hearing was in fact held after public notice. Central Police Chief James Sals- bury said Barrow drove the vehicle but he said the plan was to leave a roll of toilet paper in front of City Hall with a note expressing their frustration, but one of the women got carried away and rolled City Hall. Salsbury said instances of vandal- ism will not be tolerated. Last year, someone threw a large number of roofing tacks in the parking lot, re- sulting in many flat tires. Reported- ly, city officials have been subjected to other threats. Salsbury said it is up to District Attorney Hillar Moore to decide on prosecution of the cases. 16 CITY NEWS Thursday, July 14, 2016 Central Physical Therapy Opens New Facility
