MILWAUKEE — Douglas Macklin, 21, was charged with the late-August vandalization of 'Da Crusher' statue in South Milwaukee, according to a criminal complaint.

James Dudgeon, 18, was arrested on Sept. 12 for throwing bricks at the statue of famed wrestler Reggie "Da Crusher" Lisowski. Surveillance video showed two men throwing landscaping bricks, damaging the statue. Dudgeon alerted police of Macklin's involvement.

The statue of the South Milwaukee native was donated by hundreds of wrestling fans and unveiled in June at "Crusherfest."

If convicted, the two could both face up to nine months in prison and be charged up to $10,000.
