A possible senior prank at Queen Anne's County High School drew the attention of law enforcement.

Sometime between Friday night and 10 a.m. Saturday morning, someone had planted a tree in front of the pitcher's mound at Queen Anne's County High School and scratched "Earth Day 2017" into the mound. A price tag was still attached to the tree, Queen Anne's County Sheriff's Office officials said.

A price tag is attached to the incident, too, with more than $2,000 in damage done to a field that had recently been redone, officials said. It's not yet known if any water lines were damaged at the Centreville school.

Investigators say they're trying to figure out where the tree was bought. Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff's office at 410-758-0770 or email sheriff-info@qac.org. Tipsters can also reach out via private message to the office's Facebook page.
