Goleta Valley, CA - A 25-year-old man wishing partygoers in Isla Vista a “Merry Christmas” while running around naked at a party, December 3, became violent when another man told him to get dressed. The confrontation escalated when a glass of beer was thrown onto the streaking male. Enraged by the dousing, the naked man grabbed the beer thrower into a chokehold and slammed his head numerous times against the ground. Witnesses at the party helped lead authorities to the suspect who was arrested for assault with great bodily injury. The victim was treated for injuries at Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital.
