The boy is recovering from undisclosed injuries at a hospital.
Police Chief Steve Speeks said the boy will be questioned about the alleged vandalism once he's released.
Speeks said about 40 headstones were damaged. Police suspect multiple offenders were involved.
The funeral home director estimated the damage at about $10,000
Roodhouse is about 60 miles southwest of Springfield.
