Groveport police are actively searching for an unidentified driver responsible for a destructive incident at the Groveport Cemetery. The suspect is wanted for allegedly ramming a vehicle through a perimeter fence and driving onto the cemetery grounds, resulting in damage to headstones and other property. According to Councilmember Shawn Cleary, who oversees the cemetery, the incident occurred during the night of Saturday, September 19, leading into Sunday morning. The vehicle breached a fence near the cemetery entrance, drove across the grass toward the back of the property, and then exited near the front, striking another section of fencing and two headstones in the process. Tire tracks in the grass provide a clear path of the vehicle's movement, which investigators are using to reconstruct the event. Cleary expressed relief that the damage was not more extensive, noting that the vehicle's trajectory could have caused significantly greater harm to the historic site. The families of the affected headstones, identified as Mr. and Mrs. Crank, have been informed of the situation. Local public works crews responded on Monday to restore the displaced gravestones and begin cleanup efforts, though some buffing and repair work remains. Police have collected pieces of the suspect's vehicle that broke off during the collision and have contacted nearby towing companies for assistance. Investigators are urging residents living near the cemetery to review home security camera footage from the night of the incident, specifically looking for vehicles with visible damage or unusual driving activity. Authorities emphasize the importance of community cooperation in identifying the driver. Councilmember Cleary encouraged the individual responsible to come forward and take accountability for their actions, stating that it is the best way to move forward. The Groveport Police Department continues to seek tips from the public regarding the identity of the suspect and the vehicle involved.
