A US Olympic athlete had a felony charge dropped. The charge was related to damage at a notable landmark. New information came to light about the damage.

It appears the issue was not intentional, but rather a problem with how something was installed. The athlete, a canoeist, was involved in an incident at the landmark during a bike ride. He had touched a detached piece of coating in the water.

This led to his arrest and detention for several hours. Further details about the incident and the decision to drop the charge are available from the original source.
