THEY GOT HIM: UC-Berkeley police arrest man who attacked conservative activist

[CampusReform] The school identified the suspect as Zachary Greenberg. This is the first time that UC-Berkeley has publicly named the suspect who on Feb. 19 was caught on video punching Hayden Williams, a conservative and employee of Campus Reform's parent organization, in the face. At the time, Williams was helping conservative groups recruit new members.

"Today, an Alameda County Superior Court Judge issued a warrant for the arrest of the suspect in the matter involving a February 19 assault on Sproul Plaza. Zachary Greenberg was arrested by the University of California Police Department (UCPD) on the warrant and booked into jail at 1 p.m. UCPD will formally present the case to the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office for consideration of the filing of criminal charges. Once the matter is presented and reviewed by the District Attorney’s Office, additional information will be made available regarding a charging decision," UC-Berkeley said in a statement Friday.

According to information obtained from Alameda County public records, Greenberg is 28 years old. He was booked into the Glenn Dyer Detention Facility in Oakland, California.. His bail was set at $30,000.

Jail records show that Greenberg was charged under California Penal Code 245(A)(4) F, which is classified under assault and battery. According to one section of the code, "any person who commits an assault upon the person of another by any means of force likely to produce great bodily injury shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three, or four years, or in a county jail for not exceeding one year, or by a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or by both the fine and imprisonment."

#1 28 years old? An eternal student like most progressive "activists" or goons.

#3 Update:

"UC-Berkeley spokeswoman Diana Harvey said Friday after announcing the arrest of 28-year-old Zachary Greenberg on a felony assault charge that Greenberg was employed by UC-Berkeley from May 21-July 9, 2010 as a lab assistant in the Department of Psychology. Greenberg would have been college-aged at the time UC-Berkeley confirmed he worked for the college, so Campus Reform asked whether Greenberg was a student worker. Harvey did not specify in which capacity Greenberg worked for UC-Berkeley.

Harvey also said that Greenberg was once "briefly" a non-degree seeking student at UC-Berkeley."

#7 Bail set at $30,000. Mr. Greenberg needs to come up with 10% in order to walk free until trial. Odds that some friendly supporter does not donate that small amount to the cause: as close to zero as makes no difference.

#9 Check his bank accounts. Look for a pile of cash in his apartment. Inquiring minds want to know.
