DENHAM SPRINGS — A local ice cream shop says it’s been targeted again, this time with vulgar messages spray-painted on its walls.

Faith the size of a mustard seed is all it takes, but for one family business in Denham Springs, that’s about all they have left.

On Sunday morning, when Mustard Seed Creamery opened its doors, owners Timothy and Tasha Levert found vulgar messages on the back of their building. The Leverts say they’re one of five local businesses that have been vandalized recently, including Fab Four Barbershop, which has been hit twice.

“We’ve gotten pretty good at cleaning things up,” Tasha Levert said. “The things on the wall are pretty vulgar, and we have kids who come here because we’re an ice cream shop. We try to get it cleaned up as quickly as we can before we open.”
