## Resource

A former U.S. Olympic canoeist, 67-year-old David Hearn, faces felony charges for allegedly damaging the newly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool—just weeks after a $15 million overhaul. Prosecutors claim he tore up expensive new sealant, causing over $1,000 in damage, while Hearn insists he only picked up a loose piece already floating. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro counters with witness testimony and claims of belligerent behavior, suggesting intentional vandalism. With six other similar incidents under investigation and the pool already fenced off, authorities plan to drain and repair it after the holidays—turning a national landmark’s fresh makeover into a high-profile mess.
