David Hearn, the former Olympian who was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor for destruction of property for vandalizing the Lincoln Reflecting Pool last month was indicted by a grand jury on felony charges on Thursday.

Hearn is a three-time Olympic canoeist.

David Hearn denied any wrongdoing.

Several other vandals were arrested last month.

US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro told Fox News host Peter Doocy last month that more charges are coming for the vandals who poured corrosive chemicals in the water.

“These cases will be prosecuted to the fullest extent,” Pirro said.

It is unclear how the misdemeanor citation originally issued to Hearn escalated into felony charges.

Update: Hearn was charged with felony destruction of government property. He is facing 10 years in prison.

A grand jury in the DC Superior Court returned the indictment.

CNN reported:

David Hearn, a former Olympic canoeist, has been indicted by a grand jury in Washington, DC, Superior Court, after being arrested last month when he reached into the Reflecting Pool, a source familiar with the charges told CNN.

The exact charges are not yet available.

An attorney representing Hearn said he wasn’t aware yet of developments with the case since Hearn had previously received a citation, which was a lesser, misdemeanor set of charges.

Hearn previously told CNN that police arrested him after he touched a flap of blue material that partially detached from the bottom of the pool, which reopened last month following President Donald Trump’s multimillion-dollar renovation.

Pirro is holding a press conference on this development.

Jeanine Pirro said Hearn “violently and forcefully” ripped up the sealant.
