Authorities say two people suspected of defacing the gravesite of former President Gerald Ford and First Lady Betty Ford in Michigan have turned themselves over to police.

A Grand Rapids city police spokesman told reporters Thursday that the crime occurred outside the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library & Museum around 4.07pm on March 27.

Surveillance video and images captured the moment the duo walked on to the property and sat together on top of the gravesite.

The man was then caught on camera appearing to mark or dig into panels that say, 'Lives Committed to God, Country and Love.' The woman was seen kicking her skateboard into the panels.

The unnamed twosome are suspecting of defacing the gravesite of former President Gerald Ford and first lady Betty Ford was defaced on March 27

'We are saddened and very disappointed that anyone would show disrespect to the burial site of President and Mrs. Ford, or to any gravesite, in this way,' said Geir Gundersen, acting director of Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and Museum.

Gerald and Betty Ford are buried outside the museum dedicated to the former's time in the White House during the mid 1970s. Gerald died in 2006. Betty Ford died in 2011.

Police said they will forward the case onto the Kent County Prosecutor's Office for review and consideration of possible charges once their investigation is complete.

The last time and only other time the Fords' gravesite was defaced happened back in February of 2018 when bikers jumped the site's fence and performed wheelies against the wall, according to WOOD-TV.
