The U.S. Attorney�s Office in Nevada has charged two men with injury and depredation of government property and aiding and abetting after video
surfaced of them toppling ancient rock formations over the edge of a small cliff at the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Wyatt Clifford Fain, 37,
and Payden David Guy Cosper, 31, face up to 10 years in prison for the
incident and both pleaded not guilty after they were arrested last Friday
by U.S. Marshalls in Las Vegas.
Their defense seems to hinge on the claim that �there were no signs posted
at the entrance prohibiting pushing rocks� or any warnings that they were doing so in a �federally protected site,� a defense lawyer for Cosper told
ABC News.
Whatever they thought they were doing or attempting to do, authorities say
the stunt amounted to $1,000 in damages. What�s more, the rock formations
they were toppling over the edge of the small cliff are estimated to be
more than 140-million years old, so it�s easy to understand why
authorities would take something like this so seriously. In April, the
National Park Service posted a screenshot from the video and called on the public to help them identify both men. They say staffing levels require
park officials to rely on the public to keep watch over the park
boundaries in instances like this, and in this case it appears the public helped them track down two people causing senseless damage on federally protected land.
