On a charge of destroying federal property, 44-year-old Shaun Deaton received his sentence on Tuesday in federal court.
According to court records, Deaton visited Washington, DC on September 20, 2022, and used red paint to scrawl an offensive phrase on the Washington Monument’s base.

The National Park Service received $3034.99 in damages from Deaton for damaging the monument.
