A former Olympic athlete has been charged with destruction of property after he was arrested for reaching into the recently renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.David Hearn, a two-time whitewater racing world champion who competed in the canoe slalom at three Olympic Games, was indicted Thursday in D.C. Superior Court on one felony charge, according to court records.Hearn has repeatedly denied vandalizing the monument, which has been plagued by algae blooms with the recently applied “American flag blue” sealant peeling from the basin.The felony charge from U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, who acts as prosecutor for both federal and local courts in the nation’s capital city, is the first following the Trump administration’s pledge to target alleged vandals that the president has accused, without evidence, of stripping the pool’s lining and pouring chemicals into the water.Evidence shows Hearn “woefully destroyed property” in a “deliberate act” to damage the monument, Pirro said at a press conference Thursday. Hearn “forcefully and violently” pulled the pool’s lining, she said.This is a developing story
