A member of the far-left Antifa network avoided jail time after admitting to participating in the attempted teardown of a statue near the White House in Washington.

Jason Charter was arrested for trying to topple a statue of former President Andrew Jackson on June 22, 2020. Charter, authorities said, entered Lafayette Park decked out in all-black clothing and was later seen on video wrapping ropes around the statue that other people pulled during the toppling attempt.
