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 installation error and a rushed project timeline.

A visual inspection of the pool also revealed damage in areas that would be unlikely to be targeted by a vandal. Further details on the case and the decision to dismiss it are available from the source. The Justice Department's move to drop the case brings an end to the criminal proceedings against the former Olympian.
