On the 12th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, one man allegedly chose to mark the somber occasion by defacing a Louisiana memorial honoring the victims.

Police have arrested 35-year-old Salvador Perez, accused of placing two cardboard cutout images of crashing planes at the 9/11 Memorial in downtown Lafayette.

Lafayette Police Cpl. Paul Mouton said Perez was arrested Wednesday on a charge of criminal damage to a historic building and criminal trespassing.

Perez was booked into the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center. He faces up to $1,000 in fines and two years in jail if convicted.

Police responded to Parc San Souci at 8am after receiving reports of vandalism at the memorial. According to investigators, the insensitive graffiti was apparently placed at the monument overnight Tuesday.

The 9/11 monument is a 1-by-100 scale of both the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

It includes a pair of 13-foot I-beams from the World Trade Center, limestone from the Pentagon, and soil from the Shanksville, Pennsylvania, field in which United Flight 93 crashed, the station KATC reported.
