Cyclist denies vandalism after Reflecting Pool arrest during refurbishment
A Maryland cyclist was arrested on a misdemeanor destruction of government property charge after he reached into the Reflecting Pool during its refurbishment and touched a peeling liner, a claim he denies, saying he did not vandalize anything and that his bike tire may have touched it. Trump and allies seized on the incident to blame opponents for vandalism, while the cyclist was detained for about five hours before release.
