British-American woman arrested at Reflecting Pool breaks silence on ‘humiliating’ ordeal
- A British-American woman arrested and accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool this summer, only for the charges to be dropped, has said she felt “publicly humiliated” by her ordeal.
- The Department of Justice abandoned its misdemeanor charges against Dr Sophie Dennison-Gibby, Justin Carreno and Cameron Thiers last week, as well as a felony charge against Olympic canoeist David Hearn.
- The DOJ conceded in court filings that poor workmanship, not sabotage, was to blame for the loose scraps of liner seen bobbing in the water.
