‘High School Musical’ Star Vanessa Hudgens, Boyfriend Investigated for Alleged Vandalism After Incriminating Instagram Post

NO PERMISSION Actors Vanessa Hudgens, right, and Austin Butler are pictured next to an image that has led to a federal investigation into the possibility they defaced property Valentine's weekend 2016 in Sedona.

“High School Musical” star Vanessa Hudgens and her actor boyfriend were being investigated Wednesday for suspected vandalism after an incriminating picture was posted on her Instagram account, CNN reports.

The investigation comes after Hudgens and boyfriend Austin Butler celebrated Valentine’s weekend in Sedona, Arizona.

Several pictures were posted to her Instagram account documenting the trip, including one that showed “Austin+Vanessa” inside a heart, all carved into one of the area’s rare red rocks near Coconino National Forest, CNN reports.

The post, which has since been deleted, prompted an investigation because federal law prohibits anyone from defacing natural surfaces on federal property.

The couple may face a fine up to $5,000, or six months in jail.

CNN contributed to this report.
