It appears that the person who vandalized the Smokey statue, Beckett Edward Nachtman is likely a student at James Madison University and was visiting a member of the University of Tennessee's Phi Kappa Tau fraternity. Since Beckett thinks he's a badass because he drove all the way to Tennessee to vandalize a statue of a dog..... We should make him famous. His parents, prospective employers, and his friends in the Phi Kappa Tau frat should know. He was charged with one count of felony vandalism. Someone reported that the statue had been "decapitated" around 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 10. Officers reviewed surveillance footage, which the report said shows a male in a white shirt vandalizing the statue before running away. The report also said two other males were seen in the video and all three were tracked back to the Phi Kappa Tau fraternity house. According to the report, a witness told police he had met the suspects out the night before and said they were from James Madison University. Police were able to contact them by phone and the report said one of the three men told police the group was almost back to JMU and "could not come back to Knoxville to be interviewed tonight."
