Police seek information about Veterans Plaza vandalism
9/25/12
University Police are seeking information about the identity of the person or people involved in the defacing of the Penn State Veterans Plaza. Black tread marks, likely left by a bicycle, were discovered Monday, Sept. 24, and covered significant portions of the monument's stone panels. The plaza is a gift of the Penn State class of 2011 and was dedicated on Sept. 14 in honor of all of the University's veterans.
"We are appalled and deeply disappointed by this act of vandalism at a monument to our nation's bravest," said Chief of Police Tyrone Parham. "We ask that members of the community who may have information about this crime please contact University Police."
