A Facebook post made by the Logan County Sheriff's Department was met with backlash.

The post made around 6:00 p.m. Thursday stated that the sheriff's department was "replacing their sirens with the National Anthem to force all suspects to stop running and take a knee"

The post was shared dozens of times. Friday morning the Sheriff's Department's deleted the post and replaced it with this comment; "Yesterday evening I made a post on this page meant in good humor. Some received that post as racially motivated or discriminatory. That was in no way intended. In light of this confusion, the post has been deleted."

WOWT reached out to the Logan County Sheriff's Department to find out who made the original post.

The sheriff's department has yet to return our phone call.

The original post and the retraction are here.
