ROWAN COUNTY, N.C. – The Rowan County Sheriff's Office is looking for the people responsible for distributing Ku Klux Klan flyers.

  • Residents say they saw two men in a white pickup truck 
  • The flyers advertised the Loyal White Knights of the KKK
  • Deputies say it is not a hate crime 

Deputies say they received a call Tuesday from Glenfield Drive saying two men in a white pickup truck were throwing plastic baggies with a flyer and pebbles into yards. The flyer advertised the Loyal White Knights of the KKK and included a hotline number if people wanted to join.          

“If people do see the individuals and can get a tag number, we would like to speak with them and find out what their intent is," Capt. John Sifford said.

Deputies say the situation is not being considered as a hate crime because the baggies were not thrown at homes in any specific order.
