David Hearn, a 67‑year‑old former Olympic canoe racer and three‑time U.S. Olympian, was indicted on a single felony count of property destruction for allegedly destroying the lining material on the bottom of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The pool had recently undergone a $14.7 million renovation, according to the Guardian. Hearn pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Hearn said he was only touching paint or sealant out of curiosity and did not remove or alter it. He was arrested after stopping by the reflecting pool and appeared in D.C. Superior Court for his arraignment, gdelt reported. During the arraignment, supporters and protestors gathered at the courthouse, chanting his name, according to cnn.com.

Judge Carmen McLean did not require Hearn to be supervised while he remains free awaiting trial, gdelt noted. A status hearing for Hearn is scheduled for August 5, also reported by gdelt. The felony charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, as reported by cnn.com.
