Citing crime statistics, the flier charged that King’s legacy was one of racial violence against whites, according to [state police Investigator Michael] Davis, who read the flier.

The flier was protected from rain by a plastic bag, and weighted down with a small rock, police said.

The investigation remains open, Davis said.
