LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police have arrested a man suspected of using a sledgehammer to destroy Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Officer Andrew Chambers says Jamie Otis was arrested early Thursday on suspicion of felony vandalism.
Otis told several media outlets after Wednesday's pre-dawn attack that he originally intended to remove the star. He says he wanted to auction it off to raise funds for the 11 women accusing the presidential candidate of groping them.

Their heir to the Otis Elevator fortune will not spend a day in prison.
Yeah, a DUDE busted up Trump’s star because of “Trump’s sexual assaults against women”. YEAH RIGHT. Sounds more like a Hillary talking point with high media visibility to me. HOW MUCH DID TEAM HILLARY PAY THIS GUY TO DO THIS?
Extreme carelessness with a jackhammer. No intent. Dismissed.
I hear this guy has money. His find should compensate not only for its repair, but for its future guardians.
Local media makes this guy out to be a hero..they interviewed him last night..he has been arrested 25 times NEVER spent a day in jail..went on and on about how Trump is a sexual predator and the money he raises will go to his “Victims” I guess Bill Clinton’s victims don’t get a cut of the profits
Wondering the same.
“suspicion” sheesh, the guy is recorded on video doing this.
Oh please. So his excuse is he had the best of intentions, by wanting to sell the star and give the money to Trump accusers?? So that makes it OK then????
Can’t wait to see the media spin and sympathetic news stories on this event.
sorry
I bet like the one who destroyed a stained glass window a few months back, charges will be dropped and nothing will happen.
He was once the owner of Mahatma Gandhi’s glasses and used the proceeds of their sale to feed the poor in India.
‘...he wanted to auction it off to raise funds for the 11 women accusing the presidential candidate of groping them.’
The hypocracy of the L. Did he do the same for Slick Willies victims? Given the duplicity its hard to take libserals seriously when they want to save this or that. In relaity theyre just looking for a few seconds of fame/power or someone else $.
“Otis told several media outlets after Wednesday’s pre-dawn attack that he originally intended to remove the star. He says he wanted to auction it off to raise funds for the 11 women accusing the presidential candidate of groping them.”
From what we know now (based on the emails) we can assume this was all co-coordinated by the DNC (if not the Clinton campaign itself).
The Democrats can get away with organized smear campaigns because the media is either in on it, or refuses to report what they know about the source of the smears.
It is not working on Trump and they do not understand why (if they read freerepublic they would have a clue).
Most supporting Trump are not supporting the man, but for what he is standing for (or in this case against); the elite in both parties and the lying media.
As far as I can see Trump has not committed any crimes (which can not be said for Hillary) and so he gets a pass on any comments he made 12 years ago.
But, I hope the left keeps pushing the sex angle, it just reminds everyone of Bill.
I don’t think they’ll let him auction it off and use profit. Nope.
It would be odd if they allowed him to sell the destuction of the star.
I heard a homeless vet is guarding Trump’s star now. It was on another thread here on FR.
Glad I moved out of California for good in 1992.
Media event much? There’s a video of him doing this and he has caution tape, a utility barricade, vest, and hard hat plus several phone cameras and one guy with a microphone asking him questions.
Charges will be dismissed after the election.
Will she refuse the donation?
What ever happened to the very worthy ASPCA or The United Nation's Children's Fund?
