A federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., has indicted former Olympic canoeist David Hearn on a felony property-destruction charge tied to alleged damage at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia.
The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool remains empty and fenced off more than two weeks after the Fourth of July as repairs extend far beyond the original schedule. The project, initially estimated at two weeks and $2 million, has now exceeded $14 million with ongoing issues including algae and damage.
