Attention! You are surrounded! Come out with your hands up!
John Dailey should have his hands held high in surrender, but he calmly stands at the doorway of Southgate Lanes Bowling Alley, Dixie Highway.
According to Derek Dukes, someone created a 13- by 8-foot tank made out of Keystone cans in front of the bowling alley eariler this week as a prank.
Some towns have crop circles; in Bluffton people make tanks out of beer cases. The Icon will follow this case closely and as soon as a list of suspects is created, we hope to keep the public informed. We wonder if fingerprints were taken.
