MONROE, Mich. – A 17-year-old boy has turned himself into the Monroe County Sheriff's Office for his alleged part in vandalism at the Bedford Public Schools football field.

Daniel Rinckey is accused of being involved in a group who used fertilizer to kill grass on the school football field, leaving an image of male genitalia. According to the Sheriff's Office, the vandalism "was intended to mimic a similar act found on the Internet."
