Prosecutors charged a man Thursday who is suspected of causing nearly $8,000 in graffiti damage to the San Antonio Dam.

Michael Kettle, 24, was charged with one count of felony vandalism in Fontana Superior Court after he was witnessed spray painting graffiti in the waterway area of the dam on Tuesday in San Antonio Heights, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.

Deputies found Kettle in possession of numerous cans of spray paint and a gallon of red household paint, sheriff's officials reported. Kettle had painted approximately a 204-square-foot area.

The estimated cost of removing the graffiti is $7,700.
