LIBERTY COUNTY, Texas -- A banner bringing attention to a fake Silver Alert issued for a Liberty County Precinct 4 commissioner has caused some buzz. The prank comes after election results from March 1 were thrown out by a judge in April,The decision by Judge Michael Mayes to throw out the results means incumbent Pct. 4 Commissioner Leon Wilson now faces a special election against former county judge Craig McNair.
Over the weekend, Wilson addressed the prank in a Facebook post calling it a"direct indicator [McNair] has nothing to run on except lies and mud slinging." The banner reads,"Silver Alert: Old male wandering Dayton area thinks he is the county commissioner."It was unclear if McNair is responsible for the banner or if he endorsed it.
