KANAB, Utah — A suspect has been taken into custody on felony charges related to the vandalism of ancient petroglyphs in southern Utah.
Utah's Bureau of Land Management said Daniela Ganassim Ericksen was arrested Saturday, nearly a week after the petroglyphs on the Wire Pass Trail in Kane County were found defaced. Ericksen remains in custody in Washington County.
Immediately following the incident, the Kane County Sheriff's Office shared photos of two people at the site, while also offering a reward for any information about who was responsible for the vandalism.
Although two people were shown in the photos, only Ericksen has been arrested as of Tuesday.
"We’re appreciative of those members of the public who took time to report the incident, those who came forward with information that led to the arrests, and the news media who covered this story," the BLM wrote in a social media post. "Your collective efforts made a significant impact in this case."
