Vandals May Have Huffed Before Defacing Chapel

The Goddard Chapel in Marion, Illinois was hit by vandals, reports TheSouthern.com.

"Satanic drawings and offensive language" were spray painted on the chapel and "four monuments inside Rose Hill Cemetery" were defaced.

Bob Connell, the city cemetery sexton, said that "authorities believe teens were huffing the paint before using it to do damage the property." He also added that he had,

"been working here for 33 years and there has always been sporadic vandalism at the cemetery, but the problem seems to be worsening. There’s not much we can do, though. There are 120 acres of property to manage here. We can’t be out here 24 hours a day, seven days a week."

Nearby, an empty can and cap were found, along with a trash bag.
