美国总统特朗普周六表示，美国国家公园管理局警方已逮捕多名涉嫌破坏林肯纪念堂倒影池的人员。此前几天，池水因藻类变成荧光绿色，且由总统亲自挑选的“美国国旗蓝”池面出现了破损。
“美国国家公园管理局警方已逮捕多名破坏我们国家壮丽的倒影池（原文拼写为Poll，应为Pool）的人员，”特朗普在周六的Truth Social帖子中说道。“谁会做出这种事？这些是涉及破坏国家纪念物的严重罪行。可判处数年监禁！修复工作将立即启动。”
美国国家公园管理局未立即回应哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的置评请求。
67岁的戴维·赫恩是马里兰州贝塞斯达人，当时正在进行64英里的自行车骑行，顺路来到倒影池。他表示，周五他伸手探入池内后，当局逮捕了他并关押了5小时。

赫恩曾是奥运会皮划艇选手，拥有一家为船只建造提供材料的公司。他表示，是科研兴趣吸引他来到倒影池。他告诉美联社，他想检查特朗普下令安装的池底新涂层剥落情况。
他说，他短暂触碰了一块仍附着在池壁上的涂层，在一名公园工作人员要求他停下后便松开了手。但赫恩表示，他随后被国民警卫队队员和公园警方拘留。
“我只是一名好奇的公民，”赫恩在电话采访中说道。“我伸手下去想感受一下材质，它非常有弹性。”
《华盛顿邮报》最先报道了赫恩的被捕事件。他表示，自己已收到下月出庭的传票，正在寻找法律援助。
周五晚间，特朗普在Truth Social的帖子中未经提供证据便指控称，三天前，破坏者“破坏了池外的草坪”，还“尽其所能破坏了刚安装好的池内表面”。
多年来，倒影池一直面临渗漏、藻类滋生和管道故障等问题。今年4月，总统启动了一项旨在改善倒影池“糟糕”状况的工作，这是华盛顿特区为迎接美国建国250周年开展的一系列春季清洁项目之一。
倒影池重新铺好表面并注入池水后，上周开始出现问题。近日有工作人员在倒影池内清除藻类，周二上午，工作人员向水中倾倒了数瓶过氧化氢。
特朗普周五表示：“藻类已减少75%，情况很快将得到完全解决，幸运的是，遭到破坏的区域只是一小片受损处，将于下周初完成修复。”
即便有人从池壁上扯下带状油漆，也无法解释绿色水中的藻类云团和池底脱落的大片蓝色油漆。
特朗普坚称现场发生了恶意破坏行为。他在Truth Social上发帖称：“这与国家广场上使用的化学品如出一辙，他们在倒影池中也使用了类似物质，企图破坏和贬低我们出色的工程。”
他指的是前一周在国家广场变色草坪上发现的大量蚀刻数字：“86 47”。当局表示，这些数字可能是对第47任总统特朗普的威胁。数字86在俚语中可表示“除掉”。目前相关调查正在进行中。
Trump says multiple people have been arrested for allegedly vandalizing Reflecting Pool

The United States Park Police have arrested multiple people for allegedly vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, President Trump said Saturday, days after algae turned the water a fluorescent green hue and rips appeared in an “American Flag Blue” surface handpicked by the president.
“The United States Park Police have arrested multiple individuals for vandalizing our Nations magnificent Reflecting Poll (sic),” Mr. Trump said in a Truth Social post Saturday. “Who would do such a thing? These are very serious crimes having to do with the destruction of National Monuments. Years in jail! Work will begin immediately on its repair.”
The National Park Service did not immediately respond to CBS News’ request for comment.
David Hearn, a 67-year-old Bethesda, Maryland, man who stopped by the pool while on a 64-mile bike ride, said authorities arrested him and held him for five hours on Friday after he reached down into the pool.

Hearn, a former Olympic canoe racer who owned a company that provided materials to build watercraft, said it was scientific interest that drew him to the pool. He told The Associated Press he wanted to examine the peeling new coating on the bottom of the pool that Mr. Trump had ordered installed.
He said he briefly touched a chunk that was still attached to the side of the pool, then let go shortly after a park worker told him to. But, Hearn said, he was then detained by National Guard troops and Park Police.
“I’m a curious citizen,” Hearn said in a telephone interview. “I reached down to see what it felt like. It was very rubbery.”
The Washington Post first reported on Hearn’s arrest, and he said he has a date to appear in court next month and is looking for legal help.
In a Truth Social post Friday night, Mr. Trump alleged, without providing evidence, that three days prior, vandals had “destroyed the grass outside of the Pool” and had “also done everything possible to hurt the inside surface that was just installed.”
The Reflecting Pool has faced problems with leaks, algae and faulty plumbing for years. In April, the president launched an effort to address the pool’s “terrible” condition, part of a slate of spring cleaning projects in Washington, D.C., ahead of the nation’s 250th birthday.
After the pool was resurfaced and water was pumped back in, issues began to arise last week. Workers were seen in recent days removing algae from the Reflecting Pool, and on Tuesday morning, crews dumped bottles of hydrogen peroxide into the water.
Mr. Trump said Friday that “[t]he algae is 75% gone, and the condition will soon be completely remedied, and the area that was vandalized, fortunately, is just a small area of damage, and will be fixed early next week.”
Even if someone pulled ribbons of paint from the side of the pool, it would not explain the clouds of algae in green water and swaths of loose blue paint detached from the bottom.
Mr. Trump insisted something nefarious has been going on at the scene. “No different than the chemicals that were used on the National Mall, they used something similar in the Reflecting Pool to try to destroy and demean our beautiful work,” he posted on Truth Social.
That was a reference to the discovery of large numbers etched in discolored grass on the National Mall the week before: “86 47.” Authorities said the numbers could have been meant as a threat to Mr. Trump, the 47th president. The number 86 can be slang for “getting rid of.” They are investigating.
