Three California women were arrested for vandalism after leaving a decapitated pig’s head on what they thought was the porch of an ex-police officer back in April. According to the Santa Rosa Police Department, twenty-year-old Rowan Dalbey, 34-year-old Kristen Aumoithe and Amber Lucas, 35, were arrested on May 11.
The targeted resident of the home, Barry Brodd, testified
on behalf of murderer Derek Chauvin at his trial in Minneapolis. Brodd was a training officer for the Santa Rosa Police Department and testified that Chauvin’s use of force on George Floyd was justified.The police report noted that Brodd was the women’s intended target.
“The victim’s house was the previous residence of Mr.Barry Brodd. Mr. Brodd recently testified for the defense in Minneapolis Police Officer Derrick Chauvin’s trial. It appears the suspects in this vandalism were targeting Mr. Brodd for his testimony,” it said.
Unfortunately, Barry Brodd had moved out of state, and the women vandalized the wrong house with the pig’s head. The women were seen running away dressed in black. They also threw pig’s blood on the front door and other areas of the house. The incident happened around 3 a.m. on April 17, awakening the current residents of the home, who called the police. Damages to the home were more than $1000.
The women are also suspected of vandalizing a large hand statue at the Santa Rosa Plaza mall less than an hour later. They allegedly covered the statue with blood and wrote the words, “Oink Oink.” The women were charged with conspiracy and two felony counts of vandalism.
Santa Rosa Police Chief Rainer Navarro issued a statement after Brodd testified, denouncing his foul-ass testimony.
“Mr. Brodd’s comments do not reflect the values and beliefs of the Santa Rosa Police Department,” he said.
The investigation is still ongoing.
