LAS VEGAS (AP) — U.S. prosecutors say two Nevada men have been charged after spray-painting rock formations in a national monument that features petroglyphs.
The U.S. attorney's office in Nevada says the charges include destruction of government property and unauthorized damage of archaeological resources.
Authorities say the men spray-painted in a winding canyon that's home to one of the largest concentrations of prehistoric rock art in eastern Nevada.

The extent of the damage isn't clear. Prosecutors say the pair posted a video on Instagram last September showing them spray-painting other property, including a rest stop.
