Boone police are investigating after they say someone waved an anti-Semitic flag in front of the Temple of The High Country.

Around 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, the Boone Police Department responded to a call about an individual waving a flag with a "swastika" on it in front of the temple. Officers arrived at the temple, only to find the flag left behind after the individual fled the scene.

The Chief of Police notified leaders at the Temple of the High Country of the incident Wednesday evening, officers said.

An unknown number of Mecklenburg County speeding cases and tickets could be called into question due to revelations the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department did not calibrate their radar and lidar devices in accordance with state law.

While CMPD equipment was tested, testing was not completed by an appropriately certified employee, the city of Charlotte announced Wednesday. CMPD said technicians were experienced and followed the manufacturer's instructions. However, technicians who were not Federal Communications Commission-certified were responsible for 170 of the department's 230 devices.

The department says it is possible the problem dates back to 2008 and was prompted by a misunderstanding of state law.
