Dust-up over man removing ribbons in San Luis Obispo and officer
June 4, 2021
By JOSH FRIEDMAN
A San Luis Obispo County District Attorney’s investigator last month spotted a Cal Poly student removing blue ribbons honoring slain police detective Luca Benedetti while driving Benedetti’s widow, leading to a heated confrontation.
The investigator ended up detaining the student and waiting for the arrival of San Luis Obispo police officers, who ultimately let the man go. The student, English senior Alex Catlett, told the
Tribune the DA’s investigator angrily confronted him, pushed him and scratched his face while ripping off his mask.
