The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nevada has charged two men with injury and 
depredation of government property and aiding and abetting after video 
surfaced of them toppling ancient rock formations over the edge of a small 
cliff at the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Wyatt Clifford Fain, 37, 
and Payden David Guy Cosper, 31, face up to 10 years in prison for the 
incident and both pleaded not guilty after they were arrested last Friday 
by U.S. Marshalls in Las Vegas.

Their defense seems to hinge on the claim that “there were no signs posted 
at the entrance prohibiting pushing rocks” or any  warnings that they were 
doing so in a “federally protected site,” a defense lawyer for Cosper told 
ABC News.

Whatever they thought they were doing or attempting to do, authorities say 
the stunt amounted to $1,000 in damages. What’s more, the rock formations 
they were toppling over the edge of the small cliff are estimated to be 
more than 140-million years old, so it’s easy to understand why 
authorities would take something like this so seriously. In April, the 
National Park Service posted a screenshot from the video and called on the 
public to help them identify both men. They say staffing levels require 
park officials to rely on the public to keep watch over the park 
boundaries in instances like this, and in this case it appears the public 
helped them track down two people causing senseless damage on federally 
protected land.
