Mr. Otis, who defines himself on his Twitter account as a "
nonviolent activist
", had claimed his gesture on social networks.
He was identified by police through videos of the incident, which took place last week, and was released on bail Monday evening.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which manages the stars of the "
Walk of Fame
", estimated the damage at more than 3,000 dollars.
In 2016, James Otis expressed his "
contempt
" for Donald Trump and his behavior.
"
I have simply had enough of Mr. Trump's aggressive language towards women and his attitude, his sexual violence against women,
" he said, referring to the accusations of sexual assault leveled against the American president by some women.
“
In my own family, I personally have four people who have been assaulted or have suffered sexual violence.
It touches me closely,
”he added at the time.

Donald Trump received a star in his name in 2007, as a reward for his performance on the reality show "
The Apprentice
".
The symbol has been vandalized multiple times since.
An artist, for example, erected a miniature wall topped with barbed wire to denounce Mr. Trump's desire to build a wall along the Mexican border.
The star has also in the past been crossed out with a swastika or covered with paint or even excrement.
