Officials seek origins of roadside panties

LANCASTER, Ohio, Sept. 2 (UPI) -- Officials in an Ohio township said they are trying to determine the origins of about 3,000 pairs of panties found littering the side of a road.

Berne Township officials said the panties, which were not packaged but appeared unused, were discovered Wednesday along a mile stretch of Crawfis Road southeast of Lancaster, WBNS-TV, Columbus, reported Thursday.

"I came up and looked for myself and after I got here I couldn't believe what I was seeing," said Jim Carmichael, a Berne Township trustee. "We're just looking at it like somebody has done this and we want to find out who did it."
