The vandal who demolished Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame has been arrested.
James Otis was taken into custody by Los Angeles police in West Hollywood on Thursday morning, one day after he allegedly pulverized the landmark with a pick ax and sledgehammer, a source confirmed to the Daily News.
The protestor had reportedly planned on holding a press conference later in the day before turning himself in, but authorities got to him before he could do so.

The arrest was for felony vandalism, according to TMZ, which was the first outlet to report that Otis had booked.

Vandalism is vandalism.
