On Monday, Aug. 28, an arraignment was scheduled in the case of Epona
Rose, a transgender woman who is charged with aggravated assault and
disorderly conduct after she says she defended herself from an attack
involving several men in downtown Flagstaff.
Activists have since rallied around Rose, saying her arrest was unjust and
arguing that she has been treated badly in jail.
Rose, who was passing through northern Arizona at the time, was arrested
on Aug. 10 after she allegedly sprayed two men with mace, engaged at least
one in a physical fight and possibly brandished a knife in Heritage
Square.
According to a press release from her supporters, “the men were drunk and
sexually harassing her. The attack escalated into threats of rape, and
then to physical violence when they realized that Epona is transgender.”
That night at around 8:30 p.m., Flagstaff police responded to a reported
assault in progress.
A witness downtown told police he saw a group of men talking with a person
who appeared to be transgender in the square. According to police reports,
the witness said one of the men was shouting that the suspect was not a
woman, at which point the suspect “was mad and pulled out mace and sprayed
people.”
According to police reports, a second witness said the confrontation
appeared to have been verbal before the two men were pepper sprayed.
However, in a motion to modify release conditions filed by Rose’s
attorney, those claims are disputed.
The motion states: “Ms. Rose was touched sexually without her consent. She
was subject to transphobic statements. She was vulnerable, unsafe, and
alone among a group of four or five men. Her actions were limited to the
unique situation in which she found herself.”
Police reports show that one of the witnesses claims she heard the suspect
say something to the effect of “this is what violence looks like.”
Police took two men to Flagstaff Medical Center to be treated for injuries
related to being sprayed with Mace.
One of the men was found in the bathroom in the alley near Old Town Shops;
he was not wearing clothes and was attempting to wash his face and eyes.
The other alleged victim was outside Old Town Shops when police arrived.
He too had been sprayed with Mace; officers later found the container on
the scene. He also had a cut “a couple of inches long” on his left hand.
He told police Rose had held a knife to his throat, and said she told him
“you will die today.” The alleged victim told police his hand was cut when
he tried to move the blade away from his throat.
Police searched the area for the suspect and weapons involved, and found
Rose inside the Sweet Shoppe across the street from Heritage Square.
According to one officer’s report, Rose was bleeding from above her
hairline.
When she was placed under arrest, she asked to have a lawyer present
before questioning, but ultimately told officers the men were violent and
had threatened her because of her gender identity. She told police she
acted in self-defense, spraying the Mace and putting one of the men in a
stranglehold.
According to police reports, officers asked her if she had brandished a
knife, at which point she “went silent.”
There is no "she". It's a sick man pretending to be a female.
