Ebenezer (MO) Fire Station 3 Vandalized, $3k Worth of Damage

Greene County detectives are asking for help while looking for two men wanted for causing about $3,000 worth of damage to Pleasant Hope’s Ebenezer Fire Station 3 on February 26 around 5 p.m., reports ky3.com.

Video shows a black Ford F-250 pull up to the facility, located on East State Highway CC, before two men exit to urinate. After relieving themselves, the men get back in the truck and drive in circles—aka do doughnuts—in the lot, which caused gravel to fly and break several windows.

The truck has the license plate number 132-AZP, according to the report, and officials say it’s not a MO or AR license plate.

Any information should be relayed to the Greene County Tip Line at 417-829-6230.
