Sandy teenager faces hate crime charges after allegedly punching another teen in the face.
According to the Sandy Police Department, the 17-year-old victim was hugging his boyfriend goodnight when the suspect drove by and yelled a slur. About 45 minutes later, police said the suspect and others returned and got out of the vehicle and continued to yell homophobic slurs ahead of punching the victim in the face.
Video of the incident was posted to social media and police were later able to identify the suspect and place him under arrest after interviewing the victim. The suspect was arrested for simple assault, although police will also recommend a hate crime enhancement which will increase the charge to a class A misdemeanor.
