Skateboard-wielding suspect accused of destroying D.C.’s tiki torch statue
The man was arrested on destruction of property and drug charges after police say he demolished the politically themed artwork. A statue called “The Donald J. Trump Enduring Flame” is displayed Monday at Freedom Plaza in D.C. (Valerie Plesch for The Washington Post) The mysterious tiki torch statue, part of a series of artworks popping up across the country apparently meant to mock former president Donald Trump, fell Wednesday evening at the hand of a man wielding his skateboard as an ax, according to authorities. The incident occurred about 6:15 p.m. in D.C.'s Freedom Plaza, where the torch once stood about eight feet tall. By the time the skateboarder was done with it, according to charging documents, it was broken into multiple pieces. A day later, all 75 pounds of wood, foam and plaster of the tiki torch installation — meant to ridicule Trump followers who took part in the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in 2017 — had vanished. The people who obtained a permit from the National Park Service to temporarily display the tiki torch statue and a replica of Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s desk topped by a giant swirl of fake poop on the National Mall near the Capitol last week have also claimed responsibility for two statues of Trump that appeared in Philadelphia and Portland, Oregon. Those statues had plaques on them reading “In Honor of a Lifetime of Sexual Assault.” They quoted from Trump’s 2005 remarks to “Access Hollywood” host Billy Bush about being able to kiss women without asking them and grab them by their genitals. Both of the Trump statues were placed next to prominent female nude sculptures. In connection to the fractured tiki torch, prosecutors charged a man named Balarama-Dasa Adebisi with destruction of property and possession of cocaine. A Park Police officer in charging documents said a “white powdery substance” was found in Adebisi’s pocket after he was detained on charges of destroying the statue. A skateboard lesson provider called GOSKATE lists a man by the same name as Adebisi as “a skateboard guru in washington.” Neither the attorney listed for Adebisi in court records nor GOSKATE responded to a request for comment. Park Police, in court records, said Adebisi acted alongside a second skateboarder. But the other man fled on his skateboard, according to the report. He has not been identified. The destruction of the tiki torch installation was the latest development related to the artworks, which have attracted attention as much for their message as for how little is known about the people who have created them. On Wednesday, the woman who applied for permits to place the artwork on the National Mall and in Freedom Plaza spoke publicly for the first time. Julia Jimenez-Pyzik, a television and movie producer who worked on 2020’s satirical “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm,” said she merely applied for permits to install the pieces, not knowing her name would be public. She said that she has nothing to do with the art and that there was no connection to “Borat.” A man in contact with a Post reporter who claims to be behind the installations but would not share his identity said Thursday he was aware of the attack on the tiki torch. “It’s frustrating because you don’t want someone to destroy something you’ve put out there,” he said. “My guess is it was destroyed by someone not understanding the context of it, but who knows.” All four works the unknown people have installed have either been vandalized, destroyed or removed. A Pelosi nameplate was removed from the desk on the National Mall before being replaced by the artists. This statue on the National Mall mocks the Capitol rioters. (Allison Robbert for The Washington Post) In Portland last weekend, a Trump statue that appeared next to a sculpture of a nude woman was beheaded. Brandon Farley, a pro-Trump candidate for Portland City Council, posted footage of himself chiseling away the plaque at the bottom of it, according to the local TV station KOIN 6. In Philadelphia on Wednesday, a similar statue of the former president that appeared next to “Maja,” a nude sculpture of a woman, lasted hardly a few hours before officials removed it. They said it lacked a necessary permit. The tiki torch statue had been broken in half earlier this week before it was ultimately destroyed Wednesday evening. Asked how he felt about all of the works being damaged or removed, The Post’s mystery source texted his reply: “Whether someone is smashing something because they don’t get it or precisely because they do, doesn’t it represent the anger and rage that feels more and more normalized every day,” he wrote. “That being said, I’m bummed they’ve been vandalized. I want them to be up for people to interact with and interpret.” |
