POCATELLO (KPVI) – A local public trail has been vandalized.
Jennifer Jackson with Idaho Fish and Game says the Edson Fichter Nature Area in Pocatello has been vandalized with graffiti several times in the last month. Several signs have been tagged.
The first incident was during the weekend of March 27th and 28th.
Idaho Fish and Game officials believe the most recent incident happened sometime during the evening hours of April 18th or the early morning hours of April 19th.
Jackson says they are looking for information from the public.
“We’re not really sure who is responsible for this vandalism, whether it’s one individual or more or the same individual each time. It’s really tough to investigate incidents like vandalism. These are the kind of events that occur when no one is around,” Jackson says. “It makes it tricky to try and resolve these kinds of cases and that’s why we really rely on the public to help us out.”
There is a GoFundMe account set up to raise award money for information leading to the arrest of the tagger.
If you have any information about either of the incidents, you are encouraged to call the Regional Pocatello Fish and Game office at (208) 232-4703.
