Jackie Robinson Statue Found Burned In Trash, Cops Seek Thieves In Kansas

The burned remains of a statue of celebrated baseball hero Jackie Robinson were found Tuesday inside a Kansas park trash can, according to local police.

Authorities said they found pieces of the once glorified statue in a Garvey Park trash area in Wichita, during a press conference streamed by KWCH. 

The small fire drew local crews to the park at 8:40 Tuesday morning, and firemen were shocked to see the what the burning object was once they were able to drench the flames.
