The LAPD have not formally completed their investigation of the incident, but according to another report from Deadline’s Dominic Patten, the department will charge the person responsible with felony vandalism. The perpetrator could face up to three years in jail and a fine of $10,000 or more.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce previously refused to consider activists’ pleas to remove Trump’s star from the Walk, with CEO Leron Gubler telling Breitbart News last year that once a Star is added, “it is considered a part of the historic fabric” of the landmark. The Chamber of Commerce has never removed a star from the Walk.
In a statement to Deadline Wednesday, Gubler said that he hoped the perpetrator “would project their anger in more positive ways than to vandalize a California State landmark.”
“Our democracy is based on respect for the law. People can make a difference by voting and not destroying public property,” he said.
