Olympic Canoeist Faces Felony Charge Over Reflecting Pool Incident

U.S. Olympic canoeist David “Davey” Hearn was indicted in D.C. Superior Court on a single felony count of destruction of property after his arrest at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Hearn says he touched a piece of detached coating but did not remove or destroy any coating. The Reflecting Pool had recently undergone a multi-million rehabilitation with a new blue liner, and the incident is part of ongoing investigations related to vandalism around the pool.
