Former US Olympian facing accused of violently tearing up reflecting pool could soon get a major punishment.
This includes nearly a decade in prison after he chose to vandalize the popular refurbishment and renovations carried out by the Trump administration.
Three-time Olympic canoeist David Davey Hearn was shocked to be caught red-handed, insiders mentioned. Now, the legal battle stems from a highly publicized clash between the federal government's vandalism claims and a citizen's defense of curiosity linked to failing public infrastructure.
D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro indicted the 67-year-old Hearn on one count of felony property destruction. This is where the prosecutors alleged that Hearn forcefully and violently ripped up a 2-square-foot section of newly installed sealant using both of his hands. This gave rise to serious damage crossing the $1000 mark.
