What will happen in a court of law if you deface public property in Ohio?

You're not going to believe this one!! My sister is 55 years old and she deceided to paint a big boulder in a public park because she thought it would look pretty. So she and her boyfriend deceided to spray paint it orange. Now she has to go to court. Does anyone know what could happen to her as far as penalties go?

    If she has a lawyer, she will most likely get off. If she can prove mental illness or no prior record she will most likely get off. If she acts remorseful and pays for cleanup, they will often drop charges. It will depend on if it was a state or city park and what your local laws are. If she doesn't have a lawyer, call legal aid and ask for help. Good Luck.
