Man charged with felony vandalism in smashing of Trump star
LOS ANGELES — A man who used a pickaxe and a sledgehammer to smash Donald Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was charged Thursday with felony vandalism, authorities said.
James Otis, 52, faces a maximum of three years in jail or a $10,000 fine, the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office said.
Otis destroyed the star of the president-elect in the pre-dawn hours of Oct. 27, when Trump was still a candidate, police said.
