California police have arrested three women accused of vandalizing the former home of a retired police officer with a pig’s head and blood smear last month after the officer testified on behalf of Derek Chauvin in the George Floyd murder trial.
The Santa Rosa police department said that it appeared the “suspects in this vandalism were targeting” the retired officer, Barry Brodd, for his testimony, in which he said Chauvin was justified in his use of force. Brodd is no longer a California resident and has not lived in the home for years, so it “appears the victim was falsely targeted,” authorities said.
