Woman Banned From National Parks For Graffiting Landmarks

submitted by newtboy

7 years 10 months ago

Casey Nocket, of San Diego, admitted to seven misdemeanor counts in a Fresno, Calif., federal court where a judge ordered her to serve two years on probation and complete 200 hours of community service.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Sheila K. Oberto also mandated that Nocket be banned from federal park lands during her probation, prosecutors say. A plea agreement shows Nocket also will write a formal apology to the National Park Service.

Nocket painted and drew on rocks with acrylic paints and markers at seven national parks. She shared her work on social media, which drew outrage.

After a backpacker posted photos of a Nocket painting along a trail near Yosemite’s Vernal Falls on the website Reddit, the site’s savvy internet sleuths tracked the photo to Nocket’s social media accounts. Steve Yu, a special agent with the Park Service in Yosemite, saw the post and launched an investigation.

Many think her sentence is FAR too light considering her numerous crimes. I think she should also have to pay for professional removal and restoration of each site she vandalized and do some actual jail time on top of the community service and lifetime ban.
