While working on my front yard grass at around noon on May 21, 2026, a guy approached me about stealing a yard sign and putting it up by my flag pole. Said he had pictures of such. I asked to see pictures and who did it from him, or someone else. He wouldn’t tell me, but continued to insist it was true. Pictures were proof of it. I did not steal a yard sign from anyone. Why would I put a competitor’s yard advertisement sign in my yard by my flag pole. Flase accusations will not be tolerated. I’m offering a $1,000.00 reward for anyone with information to pin down the one or more responsible for this very unfortunate situation in the mayor’s race. With attorney’s okay that information is adequate to proceed with one or more individuals with lawsuit before payment of reward is paid. Personal threats on me will not be tolerated! Phone (605) 8301471. Will have my law firm get with you for needed information. Thank you, (Paid for by Butch Rolf) Butch Rolf
