Vanessa Hudgens 'ordered to pay fine or appear in court' over Instagram photo
The actress shared a picture of a heart carved into rock in Arizona ’s Red Rock Ranger District
Vanessa Hudgens has reportedly been ordered to pay a fine or appear in court after allegedly carving a heart into a red rock in Arizona on Valentine’s Day.
The High School Musical actress, 27, shared a picture on her Instagram feed of the heart after a trip with her boyfriend Austin Butler to Sedona. The picture showed their names within the heart and was shared with the hashtag #sedonadreams.
The media attention brought to the image alerted the Coconino National Forest, which looks after land around Sedona.
Damaging a natural feature can result in a six-month jail sentence and a maximum (£3,500) fine.
Forest Service officials said Hudgens “was cooperative in providing the specific location” of the carving.
The Independent has contacted representatives for Hudgens for comment.
