Two people were arrested Monday on charges that they vandalized a memorial honoring slaves at the University of North Carolina, according to The Daily Tar Heel.

The paper reported that the suspects, Nancy McCorkle, 50, and Ryan Barnett, 31, face misdemeanor charges of vandalism and ethnic intimidation. Barnett is also reportedly facing a misdemeanor charge of public urination, according to The Daily Tar Heel.

The memorial, called the Unsung Founders Memorial, was defaced on March 31 with urine and racial slurs.

The round, roughly 6-foot-wide tabletop was defaced with urine and racist messages written in permanent marker, police said, though they did not disclose what was written on the memorial.

The university previously said one of the individuals identified in surveillance footage had been linked to a group called Heirs to the Confederacy, though one of the group's co-founders said the organization did not approve of the vandalism and did not have information pointing to members defacing the memorial, the outlet reported.

Lance Spivey, chairman of the Heirs to the Confederacy, told The New York Times that both McCorkle and Barnett are members of the group. Spivey told the Times the group was investigating the charges against the two.

The news comes several months after UNC protesters toppled a Confederate statue known as “Silent Sam.” The controversial monument was erected on the Chapel Hill campus in the early 1900s, but emerged as a source of tension in recent years from many who viewed the statue as a symbol of white supremacy.

According to The Daily Tar Heel, McCorkle and Barnett also received warnings of trespass from the university and are set to go to trial later this month.
