HUTCHINSON, Kan. —  A Hutchinson woman’s plans for a peaceful march in Hutchinson have been put on hold. 

Various social media posts forced Teresa Delgado to postpone her march that was scheduled for Friday. The march caused a few uneasy moments when some social media posts were less than favorable of the event. The Hutchinson Chapter of NAACP had also posted a statement earlier on Thursday saying that they were not sponsoring the march and felt that it was not a good idea at this time.

Hutchinson Police Chief Jeff Hooper said that he would have the department ready to deal with anything negative that could arise from the event.

Delgado has a meeting scheduled with HPD, the NAACP and the City Human Relations department to further discuss an alternative time for the event.
