A Joppatowne man has been charged with vandalizing a monument on the grave of a victim of the Pan American Flight 103 terrorist attack, Harford County sheriff's officials said.

Jeremy Arnold, 19, whose address was unavailable, was charged yesterday with malicious destruction and disorderly conduct.

Authorities said someone urinated and swung on the $9,000 monument, which toppled from its base and was destroyed in June in Joppatowne.

George Williams of Joppatowne is buried at the gravesite.

Arnold was ordered to appear in Harford County Circuit Court to stand trial. No trial date has been set.
