Three More Charged in Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Incident as Renovations Continue

Three more people—Cameron Thiers, Sophie Dennison-Gibby and Justin Carreno—have been charged with destruction of property for peeling blue sealant from the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. They were arraigned and pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor destruction of property under $1,000 and ordered to stay away from the pool. The case unfolds as the Reflecting Pool undergoes repairs amid ongoing controversy tied to Trump’s claims of vandalism during the multimillion-dollar restoration, though prosecutors did not accuse the defendants of damaging the lining; another individual, David Hearn, faces a separate indictment for more serious charges related to the pool. Crews have drained the pool for repairs amid algae and water-quality problems, highlighting issues surrounding the landmark’s upkeep and the surrounding political debate.

New Chicago police chief accused of stealing seized guns and steroids

New Chicago Police Chief Earl D.
