TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) - University of Arizona Police are looking for the person or people responsible for damaging the Old Main fountain.

UAPD says red dye was poured into the fountain during a peaceful demonstration November 9.

Police say the amount of damage could range from $1,500 to $6,500. According to a UAPD spokesperson, the price range has a high variance because they are looking at different cost options for the repairs. But this will include draining and refilling the fountain for the repairs.

The person or people responsible could face charges of criminal damage.

Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call 88-CRIME (520) 882-7463. You may remain anonymous.
