A 17-year-old boy was arrested for spraying graffiti on Plymouth Rock in a Massachusetts State Park on Presidents Day, authorities said Thursday.

The teen used spray paint to tag the historic rock and 10 other sites at Pilgrim Memorial Park, according to the Plymouth Police Department.

Chief Michael Botieri said the arrest was made after police scoured through hours of surveillance footage from the park.

The teen vandal allegedly used red spray paint to deface his targets. Plymouth Rock was found covered with the letter “MOF” and the number “508.”

Other historic landmarks targeted included the Four Fathers Monument and the Pilgrim Maiden statue.

Park workers and volunteers cleaned up all 11 sites within a day, police said.

The teen was hit with 11 counts of felony vandalism and a misdemeanor trespassing charge.
