The notice is dated June 7. The anonymous employee said one of the Domino’s co-owners had told a neigh- boring business last week that they were cited for the tax issues.

All personal property within has been seized.
The warning notice posted to the front window, main and rear doors attributes the seizure to nonpayment of taxes.

information I had heard from local authorities indicated that he may be running out of resources.”
Wright said that he is thankful to the entire Cumberland County com-munity for their support while he tries to find his 16-year-old son.
