## Resource

A former Olympic athlete, David Hearn, faces felony charges for allegedly damaging the D.C. reflecting pool by ripping up new sealant—claimed to be worth over a thousand dollars. Prosecutors say it was a deliberate, belligerent act, while Hearn insists he was just curious and only touched the material after being told to stop. He claims he was detained for five hours by National Guard and Park Police. The case has drawn national attention, including a comment from President Trump calling it vandalism—and possibly a political jab at the pool’s costly restoration. Hearn has now been formally indicted, setting the stage for a courtroom showdown in this bizarre twist involving a legend of the track.
