Video WATCH LIVE: U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro updates Reflecting Pool case Pirro is expected to announce an update on charges tied to alleged vandalism of the Reflecting Pool.
Former U.S. Olympic canoeist David "Davey" Hearn has been indicted on a felony destruction of property charge after his arrest last month at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., according to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro.
Hearn, a former U.S. Olympic canoeist, was charged Thursday in D.C. Superior Court following the incident on June 19.
Hearn has denied damaging the recently renovated Reflecting Pool, saying he stopped during a bike ride and merely touched a loose piece of the peeling blue coating "to satisfy my curiosity as a citizen."
The indictment comes after several people were arrested or cited in connection with damage to the Reflecting Pool, which underwent a more than $14 million rehabilitation project under President Donald Trump.
