LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln man has been sentenced to 300 days in jail for pushing headstones off of their bases at Wyuka Cemetery in 2014.
19-year-old Chase Dill was also ordered to pay $800 in restitution on Tuesday. He pleaded no contest to criminal mischief and attempted failure to appear.
Authorities say the cemetery’s superintendent called police on Sept. 5, 2014, after spotting a man pushing headstones off their bases. Police say the man had chipped the bottom of three headstones, broke one in half and pushed two concrete flower pots from their bases.
