MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Three 17-year-olds from Montgomery have
been charged with defacing the Confederate monument on the Capitol
grounds in Montgomery.
State Public Safety Director Chris Murphy says each of the three
juveniles has been charged with first-degree criminal mischief.
That's a felony that carries a penalty of one to 10 years in
prison.
Capitol Police officers discovered last month that the hands and
faces of statues on the monument had been painted with black paint.
Black graffiti was also scrawled on the monument.
