Authorities have arrested a 29-year-old man suspected of spray-painting swastikas on U.S. President Donald Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The LAPD says Jose Ortega of Los Angeles was arrested Sunday on suspicion of felony vandalism.

The star is located on Hollywood Boulevard near Highland Avenue in Los Angeles.
Authorities say a witness saw Ortega tag the star late Sunday afternoon and called the police. Jail records show he is being held in lieu of more than 20,000 U.S. dollar bail.
The graffiti has since been cleaned off from Trump’s star.
The star has been vandalized several times since it was given to honor Trump’s achievements in television in 2007.
