Henry County Sheriff's Investigators have been looking for information in the theft of a Rosa Parks historical marker and now it's been found.
Sheriff William Maddox said it's the second time his office has investigated the theft of the sign, which was located near an old farmhouse on Alabama highway 10 near Henry County Road 133 close to Abbeville.
The same sign was stolen four years ago, also during the month of August.
Sheriff Maddox says it was a humorous misunderstanding this time.
Will Maddox says, "The Highway Department happened to read about the sign being missing and they had the sign. So they called and told us that they have the sign but they had run over it with a bush-hog while they were bush-hoggin' and they tore the sign down and they were gonna fix it and bring it back."
Maddox says the sign is being fixed right now and will be returned to its original spot soon.
