The suspect “ripped down the pride flags” 12 hours after his friend was booked into juvenile detention in connection with the July 30 assault; the suspected vandal’s “only clear purpose” was to “further intimidate and harass” the victim’s family.
A 17-year-old boy has been charged with allegedly punching a gay teenager in Sandy last month after yelling slurs at him. And police say a 19-year-old friend of that suspect now also faces charges, after he went back and allegedly vandalized the victim’s home in retaliation for his friend’s arrest.The 17-year-old was charged in juvenile court with assault, a third-degree felony; and initiating a riot, a second-degree felony.
The 17-year-old allegedly taunted Peacock and Metcalf and eventually hit Peacock in the head, sending him to the hospital, where he was treated for a concussion and brain swelling. They both later talked about the experienceThe charging documents for the 17-year-old say he told police he approached the couple and “clearly targeted” them due to their sexual orientation.
After the attack, a community group had put up Pride flags to show support for the couple. New surveillance footage from the same neighborhood on Saturday — about two weeks after the attack — shows Stowell, the suspected vandal, outside the victim’s home, according to police.
