Assistant Chief Peter Newsham said the woman was arrested in the area of the cathedral Monday after green paint was found splattered there. The paint was still wet when officials discovered it around 2 p.m.

The green paint was reportedly discovered on an organ in the Bethlehem Chapel inside the National Cathedral as well as the Children's Chapel there, and on a statue of Joseph Henry outside the headquarters of the Smithsonian Institution.

Green paint was also found on the Lincoln Memorial on Friday. It is unclear whether the woman is suspected in all three incidents.

The National Cathedral is closed to the public until further notice.

Newsham said the woman, who has not been identified, will face charges of destruction of property.
