Hardened Criminal Vanessa Hudgens Avoids Jail For Carving Heart On Rock

Known criminal mastermind Vanessa Hudgens has been fined $1000 and made an example of for carving her name into a federally protected red rock wall
On Valentine’s Day this year, Hudgens was visiting northern Arizona when she felt compelled to carve her name and that of long-time boyfriend Austin Butler into the rock. 
She is hardly the first tourist to do something tacky in the name of love (cc: that bridge in Paris), but she foolishly shared the results on Instagram, and the National Forest Service had its most high-profile perp in … possibly ever.

Hudgens deleted the offending post, but was cited on a misdemeanour count of damaging a natural feature on U.S. Forest Service land. Said spokesman Brady Smith:
“She was caught in the act because she publicised it and she’s famous. I’m sure there are others who re not famous and publicised and we’ve never known it.”
The High School Musical and Spring Breakers star could have faced a fine of up to $5000, and even possible jail time, but she instead paid $1000 in restitution, which will go towards a volunteer group, who scrub and sand rocks in the area. 
The deal was reached in April of this year, but only recently came to light under a freedom of information request. 
Finally, Vanessa Hudgens’ reign of terror has been brought to an end.
