Any criminal charges that can be filed against tenants

Tenants I just evicted completely maliciously destroyed my house from taking kitchen cabinet doors, shower door, lighting fixtures. fridge, broke windows and more but the worst was writing in permenant marker vulgar and threatening messages using my name on both the inside and outside walls. One even said good luck cleaning this up. They drew nazi symbles and a picture of a woman being hung from a tree with my name. Police say if they had already been evicted and came back to do damage it would be criminal but since they were still there it falls under contract and is civil. Does anyone know of any type of criminal charges that could be filed? The messages alone prove it was done intentionally and use of my name directed at me. I wont collect anything civilly but my concern is these should be criminal actions and they need punished.
