- 5 years ago
Hate crime charges have been filed against a Washington man who assaulted a married lesbian couple at a Seattle Seahawks game.
According to the King County Prosecutor’s Office, 34-year-old Jay Dee Harp III faces charges of second- and third-degree assault and malicious harassment.
State police tased and arrested the man on Dec. 30, after he allegedly attacked two married women inside the CenturyLink Field stadium during a Seahawks game.
Authorities say a “highly intoxicated” Harp spent most of the football game making “crude, vulgar comments” toward the women.
Court documents allege Harp resisted arrest and punched one of the officers in the stomach before he was tased.
