A woman has been arrested and charged with vandalism at the World War II Memorial, where the Reflecting Pool is experiencing issues.
Melissa L. Farris, a woman in her 30s, has been arrested and charged with two felony offenses related to the vandalism of the World War II Memorial in Washington. According to US Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro, the incident occurred following recent renovations to the memorial, which led to the deterioration of the pool's condition.
The peeling liner and algae growth were attributed to the improper installation of the restoration. Pirro decided to drop the vandalism charges but noted that the incident was an "utter disgrace" and would not be tolerated. The Interior Department is conducting an ongoing investigation into the incident, and the U.S. Park Police are on the scene.
