According to this, the charge is vandalism in DC Superior Court. That would be a misdemeanor, carrying less than 1 year in prison.
I wasn’t able to find a case entry in DC Superior Court’s docket system.

Unlike what most people seem to think, the US criminal court system in a manner that would allow someone to go to prison for years for this. Trump prosecutors have a reputation for poor performance in court. Grand juries refuse to indict these defendants for obviously trivial crimes, and trial juries will acquit. They tried to charge someone with assaulting a federal agent for lobbing a sandwich at a Border Patrol goon during a protest. The Trump-appointed chief prosecutor in Washington made a TikTok about how they were coming down hard on protestors. It went to trial. The jury acquitted.
