Daly City Police announced Monday that they arrested 29-year-old Tomasa Panjojleon, suspected of felony child endangering the tail, which injured a young boy. Under state law, the charge can be sentenced to up to six years in prison.
The unexpected rumpus was held on February 23 at the Thornton Beach Recreation Area, when the little boy was riding a horse from a sea view horse.
“Officials learned that during a riding class an unknown female subject approached from behind and pulled his tail and a teenage rider fell off a horse,” Daly City Police said in a statement. “Unexpected movement shocked the horse, causing the teenager to be abandoned.”
Police said the suspect fled the scene before police arrived but was later identified as Panchollion, who was subsequently arrested Saturday and booked into the main San Mateo County jail in Redwood City.
Family members Say on social media The falls left the boy all over his body and li, but fortunately, he did not suffer a concussion in his helmet. Family members said he had injured his right ankle and was advised by doctors to avoid walking for a week.
“My aunt will take time to take care of him and take him to the doctor’s examination date next week.” Written on Sunday. “Thank you again for your prayers and support for my cousin, it’s been a very difficult week for us. But we will continue to fight for justice!!”
Caroline Reed, barn manager at Seaview Horsepower, told local news stations Kron 4 The incident happened during their normal ranch pony ride, and although she did not specify what the injury was, the horse named Zeus was also injured.
“We took the kids for 10 to 15 minutes to get them used to the horses and comfortable,” Reed told the station. “It’s a very strange situation. You don’t think anyone will walk on the horse and pull the tail. It’s not normal for someone.”
