Episode Details

A 67-year-old Olympian, David Hearn, faces felony charges for allegedly vandalizing the Reflecting Pool by ripping out sealant—claiming he was on a 64-mile bike ride when arrested. His lawyers say the indictment is politically motivated, blaming the administration for its own failures. The damage? Over $1,000. If convicted, he could spend up to 10 years in prison. Meanwhile, authorities investigate a larger tear in the pool’s liner—and other incidents remain under wraps. This bizarre case sparks debate over who’s really responsible for protecting national monuments.
