(KNZA)--A rural Denton man is accused of causing extensive damage to a Doniphan County cemetery.

38-year-old Nicholas Cluck was charged Tuesday in Doniphan County District Court with felony counts of criminal damage to property and criminal desecration.

In addition, he's charged with driving under the influence along with a felony count of aggravated battery in connection with an alleged domestic disturbance.

Cluck is accused of driving his pickup truck through the Walnut Grove Cemetery, northeast of Highland, damaging several gravemarkers and a chain link fence.

He was arrested early Saturday morning following an investigation by the Doniphan County Sheriff's Department and Highland Police Department after his disabled vehicle was found at the cemetery.

A preliminary hearing is tentatively set for Tuesday.

Cluck remains in the Doniphan County Jail, held on a $150,000 bond.
