Of course, no video. How convenient.
I don’t know if the dogs are gay, but the nearby frogs were definitely gay
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. —
The Santa Cruz Police Department made an arrest for a hate crime assault on Saturday morning.
At 11:30 a.m. officers responded to an assault on the 100 block of Blackburn Street.
Investigators say two men, who are a couple, were walking their dog on Blackburn Street. They passed a man and a woman who were also walking a dog. The two dogs got into a fight, which angered the male suspect. The male suspect called the pair homophobic slurs and assaulted one of the men. The woman with him aided in the assault.
Both ran from the scene.
Surveillance video in the area showed the suspects fleeing into a nearby apartment complex. Officers were able to find the apartment and identify both the man and women they suspected of the assault.
The man, Richard Wood, a 28-year-old Santa Cruz resident, and the woman, Victoria Van Sandt, were arrested and booked into the county jail on charges of assault, conspiracy and violation of one’s civil rights — also known as a hate crime.
