Vandals targeted the home of the former law enforcement officer who served as the defense witness of Derek Chauvin in his trial. However, the vandalism occurred on the wrong residence, leaving the resident horrified by what's left by the vandals.

Barry Brodd, a retired law enforcement officer, testified on the murder trial for the death of George Floyd in the previous week, New York Post reported. It can be remembered that a medical expert also testified in the trial, claiming that Floyd died due to a lack of oxygen and not because of the drugs and underlying condition.

Vandals Target the Wrong Residence

Santa Rosa Police Department noted in their statement that blood and Pig's head were found when they responded at the scene on Saturday at around 3:07 in the morning. The decapitated pig's head was thrown in the front porch of the residence, while the blood was splattered on the front of their house.

"It appears the suspects were targeting Mr. Brodd for his testimony," said the police department's statement. The home that was targeted by the vandals served as the residence of Derek Chauvin's defense witness. However, authorities noted that Brodd is no longer a resident of Santa Rosa City for several years.

Because of this, the authorities concluded that the vandals targeted the wrong residence in their response to Brodd's statements during the trial.

The victim called the police officers when they were awakened by a group of people dressed in black who fled the scene while they contacting the police department.

Approximately 45 minutes after the incident, the authorities noted that another act was done with the same substance on the hand statue of Santa Rosa Plaza Mall. Authorities confirmed that the statue had a picture of a pig with the words "Oink Oink." The red substance used in the hand statue and the front of the wrongly targeted residence is suspected by the law enforcement officers to be an animal's blood.

The suspects that matched the description of the victim were seen by authorities as the vandals flee in the area.

Derek Chauvin's Defense Witness

During Derek Chauvin's trial, Barry Brodd claimed that the tactic Chauvin used against Floyd is not considered to be a "use of force." Brodd also argued that the act can be safer for officers and suspects involved.

However, during cross-examination, Brodd admitted that the restraint used on Floyd can cause pain which can be a use of force, which is against Minneapolis Police Department policy.

"His comments do not reflect the values and beliefs of the Santa Rosa Police Department," said Santa Rosa Police Department Chief, Rainer Navarro. Navarro noted that they are aware of the former police officer giving testimony in the trial. Furthermore, Navarro noted that Brodd is not employed by their department since 2004.

Meanwhile, the vandals who wrongly targeted a home they thought was resided by Derek Chauvin's defense witness, had vandalism with an exceeding amount of $400. Because of this, the vandals are now facing charges for felony vandalism.
