Teen Sentenced in Nevada Rock Art Vandal Case by bat400 on Friday, 12 August 2011

A 17-year-old Las Vegas boy was sentenced to nine months of supervised release and ordered to pay a nearly $24,000 fine for spray-painting graffiti over prehistoric etchings at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area in Nevada.

He was charged with unlawful defacement of archaeological resources and willfully injuring federal property for defacing the etchings at the scenic federal preserve about 17 miles west of the Las Vegas Strip in November.

Bureau of Land Management officials say they painstakingly restored the native art.
