A Kentucky woman, Melissa L. Farris of Elizabethtown, has been arrested after spray-painting the words "Clean hands dirty $" on the World War II Memorial (a landmark on Washington's National Mall honouring the approximately 400,000 Americans who died in the conflict) and filling a fountain with soap, with the incident captured on video she herself livestreamed on Thursday. U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro announced two felony charges — depredation of U.S. government property and destruction of veterans' memorials — which together carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. The act drew condemnation from veterans' groups and President Donald Trump, and comes amid heightened sensitivity over damage to Washington landmarks after charges related to a separate incident at the nearby Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool were recently dropped when evidence pointed to botched renovation work rather than vandalism.
