Man arrested, accused of shooting Johnny Cash silhouette on water tower – The Washington Post

Leaders in Kingsland, Ark., have spent years branding the town as the ancestral home of Johnny Cash.

They put up cast-iron signs welcoming drivers to the “birthplace of Johnny Cash.” They slapped his silhouette on the town’s water tower. And they’re working with his estate to build a heritage center that will highlight his roots in the community.

Cash thanked them by taking a leak on his hometown.

And he kept leaking.

Last week, a vandal fired a well-aimed bullet into Cash’s crotch, or rather the crotch of the silhouette that was painted on the town’s 50,000-gallon water tower, Kingsland Mayor Luke Neal told The Washington Post. Over the course of about six days, the water tower version of the Man in Black streamed roughly 180,000 gallons onto the ground below.

“It looks like he's peeing off a water tower — man, people are going wild with it,” Neal said.

Daily Update – May 19, 2022

Good morning! Happy Thursday. 🌧️

Finally back to taking the express bus now that it’s not a session day. It’s running 20 minutes late but I’ve been walking laps in the parking lot and still will have more time to do laps on the Plaza.

Rain showers and 52 degrees at the Elm Ave Park and Ride. ☔ There is a southeast breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 49 degrees. The skies will clear around 5 pm.

It seems like the heaviest rain is done and things will be clearing later today. 🌤️ Then hot for Friday and especially Saturday which will likely be record smashing, possibly the hottest day in years. Going to bring a lot of water 💦 for the Lupine Festival 🌲. Probably won’t be good for turn out though.
