Britt Stokes saw the first baffling tweet on Monday, June 1st. It showed two images of bricks stacked with a delivery tag from Acme Brick Co., where Stokes is director of marketing. The Twitter post suggested the company left the bricks intentionally to be used in protests in Frisco, a Dallas suburb.
Stokes tracked the order and discovered it was an earlier shipment, sent to a homeowner’s association to repair a fence. Frisco's police department put out a statement confirming the same details.
