Federal prosecutors moved Friday to dismiss a felony vandalism case against former U.S.

Olympian David Hearn, after he was accused of vandalizing the reflecting pools in Washington, D.C., as seen in a court filing obtained by Fox News Digital.

Hearn was indicted July 2 on one count of felony destruction of property.

Park Police alleged Hearn grabbed and tugged at a loose section of the pool’s coating on June 19, continuing after a National Park Service employee told him to stop.
