A historic confederate statue in Cuthbert was damaged early Saturday morning.

Police haven't confirmed what happened, and we are working to get more information.

On Saturday, members of the Randolph Historical Society were at the town square surveying the damage.

The CSA monument at Cuthbert Georgia was repaired. The driver that hit it had insurance. Bob Ball who is a SCV member of the Calhoun Rifles camp at Edison Georgia but lives nearby at Cuthbert was involved with the repair and has all the details. Several groups and individuals in Cuthbert were involved in getting the repair done.
