Woman charged for allegedly vandalizing WWII Memorial released from jail on judge’s orders

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro isn’t happy that a U.S. judge on Monday ordered the release of a Kentucky woman who was accused of vandalism at the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.Melissa Farris, 41, was taken into custody last week and charged with two felony counts, the Associated Press reported. 
Farris agreed to conditions of her release, which included surrendering her passport and not leaving the continental U.S. without court approval, according to court documents. 
Pirro said that the woman is a flight risk and urged the judge to reconsider the order for her release. 
On Thursday, vandals dumped bubble soap into a fountain at the site and spray-painted graffiti in red. One message read: “Clean Hands Dirty $.” Frothy bubbles swelled out of the fountain, which honors the Allies’ victory over Nazi Germany in the Atlantic Theater. 
In earlier videos posted on her Facebook account, according to the Associated Press, Farris recorded herself spray-painting the memorial and said she was planning the Aug. 13 action to criticize U.S. tax dollars going to what ⁠she alleged were corporate racketeering, embezzlement and slave labor practices, among other issues.
