Summary
In a shocking incident near Santa Monica’s Third Street Promenade, 49-year-old Nay Min Tar allegedly stopped his car, yelled threats at pedestrians, got out, and chased down a man—then ordered his Cane Corso to attack, resulting in a bite. Charged with felony criminal threats and misdemeanor battery, prosecutors declined to add a hate crime enhancement despite community outrage, especially from the Jewish community. The victim received minor medical treatment on scene, the dog is quarantined, and Tar was arrested nearby. Bail was reduced from $50K to $2,500; if convicted, he faces up to 3.5 years. His preliminary hearing is June 15. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
