Union City police chief 'embarrassed, dejected' after son's arrest in attack on elderly Sikh man
UNION CITY — The “devastated” police chief of the Union City Police Department expressed disgust toward his 18-year-old son in a lengthy statement following a vicious attack on a 71-year-old Sikh man in Manteca that was captured on video.
Police Chief Darryl McAllister’s 18-year-old son, Tyrone McAllister, is one of two people suspected in the attack. Manteca police also arrested a 16-year-old.
“I am completely disgusted in sharing with you that … I received a call from Manteca PD that the suspect in this horrific crime turns out to be my 18-year-old son,” Chief McAllister said in a statement posted on social media. McAllister issued the statement Wednesday afternoon.
“Words can barely describe how embarrassed, dejected, and hurt my wife and daughters and I feel right now,” he continued. “Violence and hatred is not what we have taught our children; intolerance for others is not even in our vocabulary, let alone our values. Crimes have never been an element of our household, our values, nor the character to which we hold ourselves.”
