Order of dismissal granted in Bob Harshbarger case

Accusations of theft and vandalism have been dismissed against Bob Harshbarger, the father of state senate candidate Bobby Harshbarger, after allegations that he pushed down and stole signs campaigning for State Senator Jon Lundberg ahead of the August primary. An order of dismissal with prejudice was granted on Wednesday. Documents filed in Sullivan County General Sessions Court indicated that there was insufficient evidence to support the conviction. The court order says it was granted after a motion was filed and all parties involved consented.
