PLAINS — The United States Secret Service is trying to find the people who hung a doll off of a Main Street building in Plains.
Witnesses say the doll had an image of President Barack Obama with a rope around its neck.
Plains is proud of Jimmy Carter with patriotism on display almost everywhere, tourists walked around with no idea of what happened Saturday morning but some who live here are speaking out.
Both the Plains Police Department and the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office were notified.
The Secret Service is handling the situation, but refused to comment on the situation at press time.
