earlier this month will face charges, District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said Wednesday.

An arrest warrant has been issued for Collier Gwin, the owner of Foster Gwin Gallery, for misdemeanor battery for the incident recorded on Jan. 9. Though the victim did not seek to file charges, Jenkins said “the alleged battery of an unhoused member of our community is completely unacceptable. Mr. Gwin will face appropriate consequences for his actions.”

The video posted on social media sparked outrage in the community and was enough evidence to charge Gwin, Jenkins said.If convicted, Gwin faces up to six months in jail and a $2,000 fine.

Use guns, knives, drugs, steal, leave trash on the sidewalks, break into cars, houses and businesses and nothing happens.. it’s okay…try for a week to get help for a mentally ill homeless person and use water and get prosecuted…what is wrong with this DA?

This is dominating every news feed. Yet the break in of 17 cars in the same neighborhood barely gets a mention. Where’s the outrage here from the DA or the police? Sorry they’re busy arresting a harassed business owner. This City 🤦‍♂️

So California only hunts for a way to prosecute when there’s an uproar on social media? Noted.

Hopefully the scum gets what he has coming, poor little baby can't profit enough off our system he has to mistreat the citizens as well, definition of a low life, assault for one, and then he gets sued for mental anguish from being humiliated,she most likely is mentally disabled

Chargers of doing what everyone else wants to do, he is an American hero.

DA Brooke Jenkins will not charges people beating up older Asians...

..so the lady isn’t pressing charges..so they are doing it for her? 🤔
