Shortly after its $14 million renovation, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was allegedly vandalized, with issues like algae blooms, peeling blue lining, and reported gashes and chemical damage. President Trump blamed the issue on vandals, prompting U.S. Park Police to arrest at least five people and issue citations to others.
67-year-old former U.S. Olympic canoeist David Hearn was one of those arrested. On Friday, June 19, Hearn was detained by U.S. Park Police after he touched a piece of the peeling blue liner. He was charged with misdemeanor destruction of government property — which he denies, saying he caused no damage — was held for about five hours, and is scheduled to appear in court next month.
