When the suspect contacted the victim, verbal threats were made followed by the suspect using a metal bar to strike and damage the victim’s vehicle. Due to the circumstances involved and evidence discovered at the scene, Roseman was arrested without incident and transported to Central Detention Center where he was booked for violation of PC 422- Terrorist Threats combined with the special allegation of a Felony Hate Crime and Assault With a Deadly Weapon. No injuries were sustained by either of the involved parties.
