Officer Jason Serrano faces charges for an incident about 2:45 p.m. Dec. 18, 2021, in which a security guard reported a battery south of a large parking lot on the beach between Riverside Avenue and Beach Street, according to Santa Cruz Deputy Chief Jon Bush.
The incident came to light in a claim for damages from Lt. Ignacio Ruiz, who has accused Fresno Police Department leaders of racism and favoritism. Ruiz mentioned the incident in his claim as an example of what he considers to be favoritism because Serrano is married to Mayor Jerry Dyer's niece, and because Serrano has continued to work throughout the ongoing charge.
