Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., publicly identified and charged a woman with vandalizing the National World War II Memorial in the district.
The nation’s foremost monument honoring U.S. service members’ sacrifices in World War II was vandalized with graffiti and bubble soap in its fountain on Thursday, setting off a brief manhunt for the suspect. On Friday morning, Pirro unveiled felony charges against a woman identified as the prime suspect, Melissa Farris, who was caught on camera apparently defacing the monument.
