He and I made some pleasant conversation and then I brought to his attention the subject that I've spent much of this past day investigating. Since sometime yesterday the rumors have been flying that in addition to the seven Brad Miller campaign signs that school board candidate Ron Price had stolen, that several other signs belonging to other campaigns were also found in the trunk of his car on the night of November 6th (the evening before last week's general election). To say that this place has been rife with speculation about what exactly was in Ron Price's car trunk would be a severe understatement.
Chief Hunt actually called me twice in the last little while. The first time he told me that he wasn't aware of anyone else's signs that had been found in Price's trunk, but that he would check with the officers involved with the incident and probably get back to me on Friday. A few short minutes after that, Chief Hunt called me again and said he had just spoken with one of the officers (who was off-duty at home this evening): they had a very good look at the insides of Price's trunk and the only things in it were a stack of his own signs, some Vernon Robinson signs, a few Robinson bumper stickers and the Brad Miller signs that Ron had picked up. No other candidate's signs were in the trunk.
There we have it: verification from Reidsville Police Chief Ed Hunt that other than the materials related to his own and Robinson's campaigns, the only other campaign signs that were in Ron Price's trunk were the seven Brad Miller signs. The rumors can hopefully now cease.

Wait a second here. What happened to the bodies I also planted in there?
