Donald Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame has been repeatedly vandalized in recent years, but last night it looks like someone took a jackhammer to it. In fact, an unknown man used a pickaxe and then called police on himself.
The Hollywood Reporter say the man is now in custody.
Los Angeles police told The Hollywood Reporter a call about the star being destroyed came in around 3:33 a.m. When officers arrived, the suspect was gone.
Around 6:20 a.m., police told THR a man had been taken into custody concerning the incident.
NBCLA reporter Jonathan Gonzalez tweeted, "Multiple people — including police — tell me a man walked up with a guitar case and pulled out the pickaxe. Then, it’s believed, he called police himself to report it, but left the scene before they got here. Now, he’s nowhere to be found."
