The city of Savannah is searching for a vandal who put googly eyes on the Nathanael Greene Monument in Johnson Square.

A post on the city of Savannah Government Facebook page on Thursday read:

Police spokeswoman Keturah Greene said police are investigating the incident.

In Georgia, criminal trespass is a misdemeanor offense. However, if the damage is more than $500, it's a felony called criminal damage to property.

Included in the definition of criminal trespass is the defacing, mutilating or defiling any grave marker, monument, or memorial to one or more deceased persons who served in the military service.

This applies to Greene, who was a major general in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, and is buried in Johnson Square near his monument.

Anyone with any information on the identity of the googly eye vandal should call the Savannah police tip line at 912-525-3124.
