A 50-year-old woman is facing felony criminal charges after police in southeast South Carolina say she vandalized a Veterans Memorial statue.
The damage took place Thursday in the city of Bluffton, a town in Beaufort County along the state's coast near Brighton Beach.
According to Bluffton Police Department Sgt. Bonifacio Perez, officers responded at 9:30 a.m. to Buckwalter Veterans Park after two people told officers they watched a person knock over the Veterans Memorial statue and urinate on it.
