Former Olympian Arrested at Reflecting Pool Denies Vandalism Claims
While visiting the newly refurbished Reflecting Pool at the Lincoln Memorial, David Hearn noticed a detached section of the “American flag blue” liner. Upon touching the material, Hearn was promptly arrested by U.S. Park Police on a misdemeanor charge of destruction of government property. He is slated to appear in D.C. Superior Court on July 9.
