"A patrol officer was checking the area and speaking to a witness when he heard what sounded like a vehicle collision at the Islamic Center of North Marin, the department said in a statement. The officer ran to investigate and saw a man getting out of the driver's seat of a vehicle that had impacted an outbuilding on the property."
"The man forcefully opened the building door, made incoherent statements, and immediately began physically attacking a mosque member, the department said. The officer quickly intervened, stopped the attack, and detained the suspect. The member suffered minor injuries and was transported to a hospital. David Ryan Slattery, 33, of Novato was arrested on suspicion of assault, burglary, and vandalism. He was booked into the Marin County Jail, where his bail was set at $50,000."
