News from WSMV in Nashville

They were digging in a graveyard. Two men have been arrested in Trousdale County for vandalizing a private cemetery. And the mystery remains: what were they looking for?

"I would just like to have shot them is what I'd like to do," Family member Robert Blackwell, Jr. said.

He's talking about two men with METAL DETECTORS and shovels digging up his family's graveyard.

It's a quarter of an acre just outside Hartsville in Trousdale County.

Deputies arrested Michael S. Reid and Dennis W. Spry, both of Hendersonville.

They're charged with "desecration of a venerated object" -- digging up a graveyard.

Yeah it only takes two morons like this to ruin it for us all and put another black mark on the hobby. I hope they confiscate their machines and fine the hell out of them to tweak their memory should they think of attempting it again. People like this should never be allowed in the hobby. They surely have the brains of an amoeba to be so disrespectful and turn a cemetary into a battlefield. Lucky they didn't get shot.

Maybe there should be a three ady "cooling off period" after someone purchases a new metal detector also.
