After Years of Waiting, Noel Tata Presides Unchallenged over India’s Biggest Business A former Olympian was indicted on Thursday on a felony charge in what US President Donald Trump has called vandalism of the Reflecting Pool.
David Hearn, a former Olympic canoe racer, was indicted on a single count of property destruction in a Washington court.
District of Columbia US Attorney Jeanine Pirro said Hearn ripped up recently installed sealant on pool in “a deliberate act” that caused more than US$1,000 in damage.
She accused him of “forcefully and violently” pulling up bottom liner “with both hands” and acting belligerent towards an employee who told him to stop.
“This is a case with tremendous evidence,” she said, adding that authorities have made about six other misdemeanour arrests.
Hearn did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
