‘Instagram Wine Influencer’ Accused of Throwing Pig’s Blood On Chauvin Witness’ Former Home In Santa Rosa
First we learn there is such a thing as an “Instagram wine influencer.” Then we learn one of the Bay Area’s leading practitioners in this field was arrested for her alleged involvement in a pig s head vandalism incident related to the Derek Chauvin trial.
In the year 2021, one day you can be a leading “Instagram wine influencer,” and the next day the Santa Rosa police accuse you of throwing a pig’s head at the former home of an officer who testified at the Derek Chauvin trial.

A few dozen people are showing their support of three women accused of vandalizing a Santa Rosa home and a sculpture downtown with pig’s blood.
The Press Democrat reports that about 60 people came out in support of the three women, who were also in attendance, this past Saturday at the Santa Rosa Police Department. Poems were read, some yelled out “Black Lives Matter,” and the three women, Amber Lucas, Rowan Dalbey, and Kristen Aumoithe even exchanged hugs with some of the participants. The defendants maintain their innocence and, while they haven’t officially been charged with a crime, they are due in court in early August.
3 Women Arrested After Pig’s Head Left at Former Home of Witness in Chauvin Trial
Three women have been arrested after a severed pig’s head was left at the Santa Rosa, California home that once belonged to a policing expert who testified for the defense in Derek Chauvin’s trial.
Rowan Dalbey, 20, Kristen Aumoithe, 34, and Amber Lucas, 35, all of Santa Rosa, were arrested and booked into jail on conspiracy and felony vandalism charges, according to the city’s police department.
The women allegedly smeared blood in April on the exterior of a home and left the pig’s head on the doorstep. The house once belonged to Barry Brodd, a retired police officer who testified for the defense in the trial of Chauvin.

They were all cited and released.

Three women were arrested after a severed pig’s head was left at the former California home of a witness who testified at the trial of Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd, according to police.
A group of people threw a pig’s head and splattered pig’s blood at Santa Rosa home on April 17 before running away, police said.
The home is the previous residence of Barry Brodd, a former Santa Rosa Police Department officer who testified in Chauvin’s defense, police said on Facebook. Brodd isn’t a California resident anymore and hasn’t lived there in years, so it “appears the victim was falsely targeted,” according to authorities.
