A former Olympian's criminal case has been dropped by the Justice Department. The case involved damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Government lawyers filed a court document stating that new evidence shows the damage was not caused by vandals, but rather by a contractor's mistake and a rushed project completion.

A visual inspection of the pool also revealed damage in areas that would be unlikely to be caused by a vandal. Further details on the case and the decision to dismiss it can be found through national news sources, such as the Associated Press.
