Trump’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star vandalized
LOS ANGELES — President Donald Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was destroyed before dawn Wednesday, and a man was later arrested.
Austin Clay, 24, was held for investigation of felony vandalism, the Los Angeles Police Department said.
The vandalism was reported around 3:30 a.m. A pickax was found at the scene on Hollywood Boulevard.
“When people are unhappy with one of our honorees, we would hope that they would project their anger in more positive ways than to vandalize a California State landmark,” Leron Gubler, president of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, said in a statement.
