“Clean hands Dirty $” was painted on the WWII Memorial, Kentucky woman faces charges.A Kentucky woman has been arrested and charged with two felonies after vandalising the World War II Memorial in Washington, DC, US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro said FridayMelissa Farris was taken into custody following an investigation into Thursday's damage, which involved pouring soap into the memorial's fountain and spraying graffiti across one of its surfaces, Reuters reported.Farris faces two charges, each carrying a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, according to Pirro.What happened at the memorial?The memorial's fountain was covered in soap, causing it to fill with bubbles and suds.The words “Clean hands Dirty $” were also painted on part of the memorial, with red and green paint splattered across the surrounding area.A witness photographed a woman spray-painting the memorial. The image was then circulated among US Park Police officers, according to the complaint.One officer recognised the woman as Farris, who had been arrested three days earlier for allegedly camping illegally on federal property near the memorial.Police later found a white sign in a nearby rubbish bin. Investigators said the paint on it appeared to match the paint used on the memorial.Farris appeared to document the vandalismFarris posted videos on Facebook in which she appeared to record herself spray-painting the memorial and questioned why she had not been arrested.In one statement quoted in the complaint, she said she was prepared to face the consequences of her actions.“Someone has to make choices that are different and I am accountable for my actions,” Farris said.She added that she intended to appear in court and argued that the government should also be held accountable for its decisions.In videos posted afterwards, Farris appeared distressed and said she understood that her actions had upset people but claimed she was trying to draw attention to problems affecting her.According to someone who knows Farris, she had been planning the August 13 action to highlight concerns about how US tax money is spent.The person also said Farris had raised allegations involving corporate racketeering, embezzlement and forced labour and had contacted state and federal lawmakers about her concerns.“She’s not crazy, not at all,” the person said, asking not to be identified because of the ongoing legal proceedings. “She’s been trying to get attention.”Trump condemns memorial vandalismPresident Donald Trump condemned the incident in a social media post on Friday, describing the damage as an insult to Americans who died during World War II.“First the Reflecting Pool, now this,” Trump wrote. “We are on their trail! Where do these animals come from???”The president's comments came days after he criticised Pirro over her decision to drop charges against four people accused of vandalising Washington's Reflecting Pool.Pirro had attributed damage to the pool to faulty installation rather than the alleged vandalism. Trump responded by saying she had “folded like an umbrella.”
