Prank at Arizona State Costs City $10,000

A 2006 prank near Arizona State University —presumably by University of Arizona students before a rivalry football game—has cost the city of Tempe $10,000 in repairs, the State Press reports. The city—in an effort to protect ancient American Indian artifacts and petroglyphs at the site—has spent more than a year trying to remove a large, red, spray-painted "A" from the side of a nearby butte. Police were unable to identify the vandals who tagged the butte, but they did find empty beer bottles at the time. A resident, who maybe has not been around college students in a long while, expressed dismay over the damage: "I couldn't believe someone would do something so immature."
