🚨BREAKING: The woman who defaced the WWII Memorial has been charged!
41-year-old Melissa L. Farris is facing federal prison after spray-painting "Clean hands Dirty $" and soaping the fountain at the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. — a sacred site honoring the 16 million Americans who served.
She is now facing TWO federal felonies:
1. Depredation against U.S. property
2. Destruction of a veterans' memorial
Each charge carries up to 10 YEARS in federal prison.
And this wasn't her first run-in with law enforcement. Just days earlier, she was arrested for unlawfully camping on federal property nearby.
She vandalized a memorial built for heroes. Now she's facing serious time for it.
