The mayor of a South Carolina town believed she was the target of a hate crime after cars belonging to her and her husband were dusted with a mysterious, “yellow, sticky substance.” Local and state police investigated the claims made by Lamar Mayor Darnell Byrd McPherson, who reported that on February 7 at 10 p.m. local time, someone sprayed her 2017 Symphony Silver Hyundai Elantra Sport and her husband’s soft-top 1998 Buick Roadmaster with a residue outside of their home. The material, she remembered, “got in all of the grooves” of her husband’s gray sedan. The mayor had recently returned to her home from a meeting in the larger city of Hartsville, about 22 miles north of Lamar. “My husband went out to the car to get some things out of the garage,” she told Newsweek. “He says, ‘Somebody’s painted your car!’” South Carolina local and state police investigated the claims made by Lamar Mayor Darnell Byrd McPherson, who reported that on February 7, someone sprayed her 2017 Hyundai Elantra Sport and her husband’s1998 Buick Roadmaster with a mysterious, “yellow, sticky” residue outside of their home. She recalled that the couple’s neighbor, who had stopped by in his van to pick up some laundry, also chimed in. “Darnell, there’s something on your car,” she remembered him saying. “They started rubbing it, and it was this yellow, sticky substance. So it was like, What is this?” She said her husband and the neighbor “started scraping all over” their cars to rid what she described as a “grainy substance” akin to industrial spray foam used to patch concrete. “It looked like little pebbles,” she added. Setting in was the deafening fear of an attack. “I likened it as a hate crime because No. 1, there’s a history in our town of Lamar,” the volunteer mayor of the town with approximately 980 constituents, said. In the 1970s, racist acts were not uncommon in Lamar, where the mayor said burning crosses was once a pastime. The memories of the past were front and center for Mayor McPherson upon seeing her car defaced. “It ignited some fear in my spirit,” she said. “My God, who would do that? “It was something; it was just unnerving to me.” In the incident report obtained by Newsweek, her husband asked her, "Where did you go today? The car is covered in paint." The report went on to detail how the mayor and her husband streaked a finger over the tarnished parts surfacing the car and "realized it was not paint and that the substance could be removed with a finger; similar to pollen." She explained in the interview with Newsweek that there were no words or symbols drawn on the cars. The cars were parked in the street near the end of the couple's driveway, a block and a half from Lamar’s downtown. “To me that was the message,” she said. Mayor Darnell Byrd McPherson, of Lamar, South Carolina, claims her Hyundai and her husband’s Buick were sprayed with a strange residue by a “disgruntled person.” Authorities, however, doubted a crime had occurred and claimed the substance was actually pollen. The mayor is hard-pressed to understand why she was targeted. “I have a good reputation,” she said. I have never been subjected to something like this.” Both cars were rigorously cleaned the day after the incident, and therefore a sample of the substance, whatever it was, wasn’t preserved. “The substance wasn’t saved and the cars were actually cleaned—pressure-washed twice—there was no substance, and so they didn’t have it for the investigation,” argued McPherson. Darlington County Sheriff’s Office Lieutenant Robby Kilgo explained that an investigation was opened to determine what the substance was on both cars. “We found it to be pollen,” Kilgo explained in an interview with Newsweek. “There was no reason for us to collect a sample.” The report that was taken included details of an examination by two sheriff's officials (a sergeant and a deputy) "immediately came to the conclusion that the substance had a yellowish tint to it and that it's a type of powder similar to pollen." Though the possibility was raised that the car’s mysterious coating could have been pollen and not the result of foul play, McPherson remained convinced someone was behind it. "It's something," she said. "Something that's sticky that's stuck to my car and took two different solutions to get it off." Poster Comment: Comment from the site: Bees steal pollen from the obviously white privileged trees and then in a fitting Democractic-Socialist fashion, redistribute the wealth back at the hive....the left over pollen on the cars is just another example of excess wealth on the part of the unchecked, privileged trees.
