US Park Police did not respond to request for comment.

The arrest came as President Donald Trump pointed the finger at vandals for the current dismal state of the Reflecting Pool, just weeks after a $14.8 million restoration project was completed.

 We've had some real problems with Vandalism at the beautiful Reflecting Pool, which sits between The Washington Monument and The Lincoln Memorial,  Trump wrote on Truth Social Friday.

 Just like three days ago, they destroyed the grass outside the Pool, they've also done everything possible to hurt the inside surface that was just installed,  he continued.

 No different than the chemicals that were used on the National Mall, they used something similar in the Reflecting Pool to try to destroy and demean our beautiful work,  the president claimed.

Trump further claimed the vandalized area would be restored, and the algae resolved, by  early next week.
