LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas police say they've arrested a 17-year-old gang member accused of spray-painting graffiti over prehistoric etchings at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area in Nevada.

The teen wasn't identified because of his age. Police say he faces a felony charge of placing gang graffiti.

Police say the teenager permanently defaced federally protected Native American art scraped and ground into the rocks up to 1,000 years ago.

The graffiti was reported Dec. 2. It features the words "Red Rock 2010" and "Nevada has cronic" sprawled in maroon paint across several rock formations.

The teen was being held at Clark County Juvenile Hall.

So sad............. maybe in that State the parents are billed to help with the clean up.

I think the real issue here is if Nevada does in fact have "chronic"?

[Sun_Ray]

I must be old......... had to look up 'chronic' in an urban dictionary. I'm from the 60's generation but this is a new one on me.

What is this generation coming to. Can't even spell "chronic." plz:

[Jim]

I know, it's supposed to be "Kronik".
