By: Ada police are investigating how flyers for a white supremacist group ended up wrapped around delivered copies of the local newspaper.
Several subscribers to the Ada Evening News reported receiving a newsletter from the Ku Klux Klan wrapped around their local papers over the weekend.
Lon? Beasley, the newspaper's publisher, said the paper was not aware of the group's activities and said it was done without the newspaper's permission.
"This is totally unauthorized activity," Beasley said. "The AEN does not in any way endorse Ku Klux Klan ideology. They have the right to distribute their message as Americans under Freedom of Speech, but they are not authorized to do so through the Ada Evening News."
The newspaper also said contract employees who deliver the papers were not responsible.
Ada police are investigating and urged residents to call police if they spot suspicious vehicles after papers are delivered.
"We are investigating this and finding out what charges can be pursued," Ada Assistant Police Chief Carl Allen said. "We will get to the bottom of this."
