A federal grand jury in Nevada has indicted two men who allegedly toppled ancient red rock formations in Lake Mead National Recreation Area earlier this year.
Wyatt Clifford Fain, 37, and Payden David Guy Cosper, 31, each face one count of injury and depredation of government property and one count of aiding and abetting.
The Justice Department says the pair, both Henderson, Nev., residents, pushed the rocks off a cliff, sending them clattering to the ground, along the Redstone Dunes Trail on April 7.
The Federal Public Defender’s Office, which is representing Fain, said it does not comment on pending cases. An attorney listed for Cosper did not immediately reply to NPR’s request for comment.
