The police arrested a woman from San Francisco suspected of having pulled the tail of a horse and that a young rider is thrown into a wild meeting which has since become a viral video.
On Monday, Daly City police announced that she had arrested Tomasa Panjojleon, 29, suspected of endangering criminal children in the tail incident who left a young boy injured. The accusation is liable to a sentence of up to six years in prison under the law of the state.
The unexpected rumpus took place on February 23 in the Thornton Beach leisure area when the boy took a riding lesson on a horse of the Ocean View stables.
“The police learned that during a riding lesson, a juvenile rider fell from a horse after an unknown woman approached the horse from behind and pulled his tail,” Daly’s city in a statement said. “Unexpected action surprised the horse, which led to the launch of the juvenile.”
The culprit fled before the police arrived but was then identified as Panjojleon, who was arrested on Saturday and sentenced to the main prison of San Mateo County in Redwood City, police announced.
A family member declared on social networks that the fall had left the boy with bruises all over the body and a soft, but fortunately, he did not undergo a concussion because he wore a helmet. He injured his right ankle and was advised by a doctor to avoid walking for a week, the family member said.
“My aunt will take a leave to take care of him and bring him to his doctor’s control appointments next week,” she wrote on Sunday. “Thank you again for your prayers and your support for my cousin, it’s a really difficult week for us. But we will continue to fight for justice !!! »»
Caroline Reed, director of Barn at Ocean View Stable, told the local Kron 4 press station that the incident had taken place during their normal pony journey in pasture and that the horse, named Zeuss, was also injured, although she did not specify what was the injury.
“We take children in a short trip of 10 to 15 minutes to get them used to horses and comfortable,” said Reed to the station. “It was a very strange circumstance. You would not think that anyone would go to a horse and jump its tail. It’s not really the normal thing for someone to do around an animal like that. »»
