WASHINGTON – Lee Michael Cantrell, 47, of Virginia; Connor Matthew Judd, 20, of Washington, D.C.; Ryan Lane, 37, of Maryland; and Graham Lloyd, 37, of Maine, were charged by criminal complaint yesterday with destruction of federal property, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Michael R. Sherwin, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Washington Field Office’s Criminal Division James A. Dawson, and Acting Chief of the United States Park Police (USPP) Gregory T. Monahan.
The complaint, unsealed today, alleges that on June 22, 2020, the four men along with other unidentified individuals, damaged and attempted to tear down the statue depicting Andrew Jackson located in Lafayette Square. The complaint further alleges that Cantrell was captured on video attempting to pry the statue off its base with a wooden board and trying to pull the statue down with the aid of a yellow strap. The complaint alleges that Judd is seen on video trying to pull down the statue, and that Lane is seen on video affixing a rope to one part of the statue and then pulling on another rope tied to the statue. The complaint also alleges that video of the incident shows Lloyd as he breaks off and destroys the wheels of cannons located at the base of the statue. Lloyd is also captured on video pulling on ropes in an effort to topple the statue, and handing a hammer to an unidentified individual involved in the incident.
Various outlets reporting Jason Charter has also been arrested for trying to destroy the Jackson statue. He has been characterized as 'the ringleader' and Daily Mail reports Charter as an 'Antifa supporter'. Antifa support isn't startling news, but it's nice too see media not providing euphemistic cover for a change.. (ie- a mostly peaceful protestor, etc)

Well, maybe we should wait to see how it's reported here in the US.
Article on Jason Charter, who was recently arrested & charged in the effort to destroy (depredation) of the Jackson (& Pike) statues. It meanders away from Charter some, but does give a basic profile on him..

That ‘woke’ man-bun dude just let the N word rip toward that black cop. And was yelling up under the cops face shield with no mask on. I’d have paid the cops legal fees to have seen him roundhouse the idiot.
Where is the news media? If people were going to paint over "Black lives matter" painted across the street in Lafayette Square, there would be completely different coverage by the news media and politicians.
We don't know any of the names of the people tearing down these statues, which are government property. And yet, we get a "What's right, and what's wrong" segment on CNN with "my man D. Lemon" and Cuomo, just lambasting the California couple who painted over the Black Lives Matter letters that were painted in huge letters across their city street.
The media's opinion and coverage of recent events is really one sided. Democrat politicians are no different. In the state of New York, their governor is calling it a "healthy expression" of free speech, for violent mobs to tear down statues.
Six months out from the statue vandalism, which was basically national news.. I can't find a single report on the status of Charter's case. It kills me how little follow up is done by the media. Will Charter be punished, or exonerated, for his role in the statue vandalism(s) ?
If anyone has seen anything new, I'm curious about this case.. I searched Jason Charter, and the only news that pops is from his arrest 6 months ago
Don’t try that stuff on mayor lightfoots house in Chicago you guna get shot
