KEY WEST, FLA. (WSVN) - Police said they have identified the two men who allegedly burned a Christmas tree next to the Southernmost Point buoy, leaving the historic marker charred.

On Thursday morning, Key West Police identified their suspects as 21-year-old David Perkins Jr. and 21-year-old Skylar Rae Jacobson.

Perkins Jr. is from Leesburg, Florida, while Jacobson is from Texas.

According to police, the two men have made arrangements to turn themselves in.

Earlier in the week, crews worked to restore the buoy.
