The wicked individual who spray-painted and dumped chemicals on DC’s WWII memorial has been identified and arrested.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, the World War II memorial in Washington, D.C., was vandalized on Thursday with bubbly soap and graffiti containing a very nasty message to the military.
The memorial fountain bubbled over with suds, and a complete loser painted the words “Clean hands Dirty $” on one of its surfaces.
The area was also splattered with red and green paint.
The Interior Department, which oversees the National Park Service, vowed zero tolerance and a commitment to finding the person or people responsible.
Now, justice has arrived.
Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, has just announced that authorities have arrested Melissa L. Farris and faces the following charges: Depredation Against Property of the United States and Destruction of Veterans’ Memorials.
Should Farris be convicted of both charges, she faces up to 10 years in prison.
Pirro also shared two photos of Farris. One shows her wearing sunglasses and looking into the camera.
The other shows her spray-painting words on the memorial.
“Vandalizing our World War II Memorial is a despicable attack on a sacred monument honoring the Americans who fought and died for our freedom,” Pirro wrote on X. “Those Americans include my father and grandfather.
“This morning, we are filing two felony charges, Depredation Against Property of the United States and Destruction of Veterans’ Memorial in Federal District Court against Melissa L. Farris, offenses that carry penalties of up to ten years in prison,” she added.
She is now in custody.”
