Reward for Information on Alleged Vandals Raised to $1,000
Last month four people allegedly committed the Nevada crime of vandalism against Coronado High School's Henderson Campus by chopping down trees, gluing locks and door hinges, and shooting paintballs at a wall mural. The school is offering a $1,000 reward for information. The school principal suspects that the culprits are Coronado students.
The Nevada crime of vandalism is the willful damaging, destruction or defacing of another's property. Other names for vandalism are malicious mischief and public offense. Common defenses are that the defendant had lawful consent to vandalize or that the property belonged to the defendant.
Penalties for committing the Nevada crime of vandalism depend on the extent of the damage. If the value of the damaged property is under $500, it's a misdemeanor carrying a maximum six months in jail. If it's less than $5,000, it's a gross misdemeanor carrying up to one year in jail. Otherwise it's a felony carrying up to five years in Prison. The judge also orders restitution to pay for the damage and perhaps additional fines.
