[NYP] A 27-year-old miscreant allegedly beheaded one of the soldiers on the Iwo Jima statue at the US Marine Corps Base Quantico with a sledgehammer — causing an estimated hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage.
Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano, 27,
| …is he here legally or illegally? | was caught by cops hacking at the replica of the famous World War II US Marine flag-raising at the Virginia base at around 10:15 p.m. Wednesday night, Fox 5 DC reported, citing police.

Maldonado Soriano was slapped with felony destruction of property, trespassing with intent to damage property, and felony injury to a monument charges, the outlet reported.
The alleged sledgehammer nut is being held without bond.
The statue at the US Marine Base Quantico — located around 36 miles south of Washington DC — was sculpted from limestone by Felix de Weldon in 1954 and honors all Marines who have died in defense of the country since 1775.
