David Hearn indicted for vandalizing Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool

Former U.S. Olympic canoeist David Hearn has been indicted on felony charges for vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Hearn, 67, was arrested on June 19 after he allegedly reached into the pool to touch peeling paint. The Reflecting Pool has been under scrutiny due to an ongoing $16 million repair project initiated by the Trump administration. A grand jury in Washington, D.C. now officially charges Hearn with destruction of property over $1,000. He claims he didn’t vandalize anything, and the incident is part of a larger problem with reported vandalism affecting the pool.
