Hearn previously told The Associated Press he was detained for five hours by National Guard troops and U.S. Park Police after stopping by the pool during a 64‑mile bike ride on June 19.

He said he reached in to examine newly peeled coating and briefly touched a chunk attached to the side of the pool but let go when a park worker instructed him to stop.

Pirro has accused Hearn of causing more than $1,000 in damage by ripping up recently installed sealant and acting belligerently toward an employee who confronted him.
