A racial slur was spray-painted on the street in front of the New Life Temple Church of God and Christ in Mt. Vernon and found by the church's pastor on Sunday morning. After seven years preaching without incident, pastor Timothy Dunston was shocked by what he discovered on Sunday. After calling the police, the pastor then took to Facebook live to make the community aware of what had transpired. Pastor Dunston says he is registered to run for the mayor’s office in Mt. Vernon. The city of Mt. Vernon cleaned the word off the street on Monday afternoon. Mount Vernon police are asking anyone with information on the vandalization to contact them.
