Police: Vandal Trapped By Tombstone

40 Headstones Damaged In Cemetery

Roodhouse, Illinois -- Police in the central Illinois town of Roodhouse said a teen became pinned under a tombstone after tipping it over during a vandalism spree at a local cemetery.

Authorities said it took four firefighters to lift a 600-pound gravestone off the 16-year-old boy's leg early Tuesday after he helped knock over that headstone and dozens others.

The boy is recovering from undisclosed injuries at a hospital.

Police Chief Steve Speeks said the boy will be questioned about the alleged vandalism once he's released.

Speeks said about 40 headstones were damaged. Police suspect multiple offenders were involved.

The funeral home director estimated the damage at about $10,000

Roodhouse is about 60 miles southwest of Springfield.

It's unfortunate the tombstone did'nt fall on his head,that would've been fitting.

The rreason I thought of Uncle Sam first was because they too were vandalists in Uncle Sam. In Creepshow (which is 1000 times better than the shitty Uncle Sam), it was just a bitch that got it to her (if i'm correct, it was the mother). That's why I automatically thought Uncle Sam. If it was a different story (in teh vandalism part, not the tombstone part), I would've thought Creepshow right away.
