Hearn \u201cripped a piece of recently installed sealant,\u201d Jeanine Pirro, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, said in a press conference Thursday announcing the indictment. \u201c[Hearn] willfully destroyed property at the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pirro stated that National Park Service (NPS) employees who were on scene claim to have observed Hearn reaching and pulling up the liner with both hands. Pirro alleges that Hearn caused damage to at least two square feet of the Reflecting Pool, citing the multi-million-dollar\u00a0cost of the recent renovations to the pool to explain the charge being filed for damages of $1,000 or more<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Pirro also stated that NPS employees allege that Hearn was told not to reach into the pool, and allegedly shouted back, \u201cIt\u2019s not your pool,\u201d and \u201cWhy do you care so much?\u201d<\/p>\n

Hearn, a three-time Olympic canoeist, was first arrested on June 19 in front of the Lincoln Memorial and\u00a0was charged with the \u201cmisdemeanor offense of destruction of government property,\u201d Mediate\u00a0reported<\/span>.

<\/p>\n

Pirro emphasized the alleged purposeful intent of Hearn\u2019s action when asked questions about the gravity of the indictment, stating, \u201cThere was an effort, a violent effort, to rip up the sealant from the pool; we can state and prove beyond a doubt that he damaged the pool over $1,000.\u201d<\/p>\n

The grand jury\u2019s\u00a0indictment was quickly followed by Chief Judge Milton C. Lee issuing a warrant for Hearn\u2019s arrest, citing that \u201cThe Defendant has been indicted on charges to include Destroying Property in violation of D.C. Code \u00a7 22\u2013303.\u201d\u00a0No bond was listed for the warrant.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

D.C. Code \u00a7 22\u2013303 covers the crime of and punishment for \u201cMalicious burning, destruction, or injury of another\u2019s property,\u201d in the amount of $1,000 or more. The charge is punishable by a fine of up to $25,000 or up to 10 years in prison,\u00a0or both.<\/p>\n

Deputy Chief David LaMont, United States Park Police Field Operation Division Commander, warned any potential vandals or other criminals that they \u201cwill be held accountable and either cited or arrested.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pirro said her team is \u201cnot tracking anything in terms of a threat environment,\u201d leading up to the holiday weekend.<\/p>\n
