A man who used a pickaxe and a sledgehammer to smash Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was charged with felony vandalism, authorities say.
James Otis, 52, faces a maximum of three years in jail or a $10,000 fine, Los Angeles prosecutors said Thursday.
Otis destroyed Trump's star in the predawn hours of Oct. 27, police said. He was arrested soon after.
Otis, who is free on bail and scheduled to be arraigned on Friday, could not immediately be reached for comment. It's unclear if he has an attorney.
The star, bestowed on Trump in 2007 for his work on the reality show "The Apprentice," has since been repaired.
