From USA Today:
Washington police arrested a woman after two chapels in the National Cathedral in Washington were defaced with green paint Monday afternoon.
The arrest follows similar vandalism Friday to the Lincoln Memorial and a statue near the Smithsonian Castle on the National Mall. Authorities did not immediately indicate whether the three incidents were connected.
Cathedral officials discovered wet paint strewn over the Bethlehem Chapel’s organ console and casework about 2 p.m., leaving them to believe the vandalism was recent, according to spokesman Richard Weinberg. The chapel was closed, District of Columbia police were called and the cathedral was being searched.
