The woman who was arrested late last month for allegedly vandalizing a number of landmarks in Washington, D.C. has been moved from a half-way house to a psychiatric ward, The Washington Post reported Thursday.

Jiamei Tian was arrested on July 29 at Washington National Cathedral, where authorities found paint stains in two of the chapels. She is the suspect in the vandalism of other Washington landmarks, including the Lincoln Memorial, which was splattered with green paint last month.

Tian, who is homeless, is charged with one count of defacing property.
