An electronic sign has been disabled on Plantation Oaks Boulevard.

Hateful messages posted on two private electronic message boards in Oakleaf Plantation were removed early Thursday morning by the Clay County Sheriff’s Office.

The Sheriff’s Office posted on Facebook saying it was notified about the vandalized boards and found the signs with hateful messages that included racial slurs.

One of those signs is visible to drivers and sits on Plantation Oaks Boulevard between Oakleaf High School and Oakleaf Junior High School. The other sign was in a parking lot of Oakleaf Community Park, about a quarter-mile from the first sign, deputies said.
