ACUSHNET, MASS. (WHDH) - A 16-year-old boy is facing criminal charges after he allegedly damaged more than a dozen gravestones inside a Massachusetts cemetery last month.
The teenager, whose name was not released because of his age, is accused over overturning 18 headstones at Acushnet Cemetery on Oct. 4, police say.
The cemetery’s groundskeeper says small statues, candles and other graveside decorations were also destroyed.
Officials said the cemetery will pay to fix the damage and the headstones were put back in place the next day.
