Dear Attorney General Becerra:
RECEIVED
AUG 25 2020
SLO CITY CLERK
I am writing to you regarding Tianna Arata of San Luis Obispo, California, asking for your attention
to the unjust charges against this passionate, young 20 year old woman, who was exercising her right to
protest.
A bit of research on this issue reveals that Tianna did, indeed, cause damage to someone's vehicle. How does
this result in four counts of felony?
It seems harsh, coming from a community that collaborated to gloss things over when their own chief of
police left her firearm in the bathroom of El Pollo Loco in 2019, then attempted a cover up.
I spent 12 years wonderful years in Los Osos and Paso Robles, raising funds for Sierra Vista, French Hospital,
Marian Medical Clinic, Atascadero State Hospital, the public libraries and more. Running a business and
raising our daughter on the Central Coast was wonderful, and it is very disheartening to see that obvious
racism has taken hold of this once idyllic community.
In closing, please free Tianna Arata and investigate the motivations of such harsh punishment. It should
raise the questions of what interests are being catered to, and what the true agenda is.
Sincerely,
Carol K. Young
