Sun City Woman Arrested On Hate Crime Allegation

The Riverside County Sheriff reports that Wendy Roberts, a 39 year old woman from Sun City, was arrested and booked into the Southwest Detention Center on charges of Criminal Threats and Hate Crime allegations.

It all started yesterday, Memorial Day, in Wildomar.

A black guy was riding his bicycle along Orchard Street, and rode past a house where several white men and women and children were gathered. These people started yelling racial slurs as he rode by. The suspects then chased him down the street and confronted him. One of the suspects stood over him and threatened him with a knife.

The victim's brother saw what was happening and came to his aid firing three to five warning shots into the ground from a 9mm handgun. No one was hit, but they all ran away.

Sheriff's deputies showed up and found the suspects and arrested six people, Wendy Roberts, being the only one from the Menifee Valley.
