Detective David Bailey said the Great Bend Police Department is close to wrapping up a recent case where someone used window chalk to write racist graffiti on the cars of an African American family. “Juvenile subjects are suspects and were questioned,” Bailey said, adding the case will be submitted next week to the Barton County Attorney, who will decide what charges should be filed. On July 30, Ed McGilber found the “n” word, “I hate blacks” and a swastika scrawled on the windows of his and his wife’s cars on Adams St.Other Great Bend residents found chalk on their windows over the next couple of days, but those cases appeared to be more random.
