Vandal who wrecked Donald Trump's Hollywood star is charged



James Otis, 52, was charged Thursday with felony vandalism. He faces a maximum of three years in jail or a $10,000 fine, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office told the Associated Press.
In protest of the then-GOP presidential candidate, Otis used a pickaxe and a sledgehammer to smash the star on Oct. 26. He was was arrested shortly after.

“I just sort of had enough with Mr. Trump’s aggressive language toward women and his behavior, his sexual violence with women and against women,” Otis told the Los Angeles Times on Oct. 27, explaining his rationale. “I’ve had personally, in my own family, four people who have been assaulted or have had sexual violence happen to them. It all became very personal.”
