Deputy Jordan Weiss arrived on scene and noticed the name “Ballard” spelled out in black spray paint on one of the tank batteries. Myers said he had been at the site around 5:30 PM on Friday and the painting was not there but when he arrived around 9:00 AM Saturday he noticed the painting. Nothing else was tampered with or missing.
