MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — Two Mount Pleasant teenagers have been ordered to perform hundreds of hours of community service and pay restitution for vandalizing a memorial honoring a Marine killed in Iraq and other military veterans.
Isabella County Trial Judge William Ervin on Wednesday ordered the 14- and 13-year-old boys to 200 and 225 hours of community service, respectively.
Ervin says much of that service will involve maintaining various war memorials in Mount Pleasant and surrounding areas, and the Iraqi Freedom memorial in Island Park, which the two vandalized in April.
The boys cited boredom as the reason for the vandalism.
