City Not Laughing at Virginia Water Tower Prank
What was likely intended as a prank, is not amusing officials on the Iron Range.
Police in Virginia say someone climbed up on the city water tower and changed the ‘n’ on ‘Queen City’ to an ‘r.’
The vandalism was discovered Monday morning.
City officials say the vandalism took some effort, as the entire area is surrounded by barbed wired.
Police say they've launched a criminal investigation.
The water tower was re-painted a few hours after the discovery.
