| 84. I think there are any number of misdemeanor charges |

that could apply... Malcious mischief, misdeamenor vandalism.... as a start. All which could require compensation for damages or public service--let em pick up trash every weekend throughout the summer. But, a felony that would mark them for life? Good heavens
