Elizabethtown woman indicted on charge of vandalizing WW2 memorial

A Kentucky woman has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges that she intentionally damaged The World War II Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

Melissa Farris is scheduled to be arraigned next week on two felony counts. Grand jurors indicted her Thursday on charges of destroying the veterans’ memorial and destroying government property.

An attorney for Farris didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment on Friday.

Farris, of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, is suspected of spray painting the words “Clean hands dirty $” on the monument and filling a fountain with bubbles on Aug. 13. She was ordered released after her initial court appearance on Aug. 17.

President Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social site, Our beautiful World War II Memorial was just hit by Spray Painting Vandals,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social site. “First the Reflecting Pool, now this.”
