Assault arrest for man who hit Sacramento mayor with pie
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A man smacked Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson in the face with a pie at a charity dinner, and an official says the former NBA star went on the defensive.
The mayor had given a speech at the Seeds of HOPE dinner at Sacramento Charter High School Wednesday night before the man came up, pulled the pie from a bag, grabbed Johnson, and shoved it into his face, the mayor’s Chief of Staff Crystal Strait said.
She said the mayor defended himself against the man, but she would not give details.
The mayor tweeted that he’s “doing fine” and added, “Thank you to Sac PD for being there.”
