3 Boy Scout leaders could be facing legal action after they video taped themselves dislodging a 200 million year old boulder from it's precarious perch in Utah state park.

WTNH reports that one of the men starts to wiggle it, and then it topples to the ground. You can hear the men laughing in the background, one jumping up and down on a nearby boulder.

But it's no laughing matter. These men could face felony charges for toppling the ancient rock.



The sandstone boulders (called Goblins) date back to the Jurassic period, and it's against the law to deface them. A park official calls the video disturbing, sad and hard to watch.

"Obviously, we're very concerned and upset that somebody would come and destroy this natural wonder that took millions of years to be formed,” said Jeff Rasmussen, deputy director with Utah State Parks & Recreation.

"Muscles over here pushed it off,” said Dave Hall, the man who shot the video.

But, despite the high-fives seen in the video, the accused vandals say they thought toppling the formation was a good thing.

The park's deputy director says in his 22 years, no one has been hit by a falling Goblin.

It's not yet clear what charges the men could face, as authorities are still investigating. Meanwhile, authorities say the accused vandals probably never would have gotten caught if they hadn't posted the video on Facebook.
