Reed faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted on the felony charge.
His attorney wasn’t immediately available for comment.
Reed was arrested last month after Little Rock police say he intentionally
drove into the monument, destroying it less than 24 hours after it was erected.
Reed was also arrested in 2014 for destroying Oklahoma’s Ten Commandments
