OAKDALE, Calif. -- Investigators say a California motorist leaving a rodeo in heavy traffic beat his pregnant passenger with a belt and assaulted a police horse when a mounted officer tried to intervene.
Fans were leaving the Oakdale Rodeo in stop-and-go traffic when the driver began attacking the woman in his car.
Oakdale police say an officer on a horse moved in to block the man's car, which kept inching forward.
The man was arrested. The horse wasn't hurt.
The Modesto Bee (http://bit.ly/IFQ7jL) says 34-year-old Julio Cesar Gutierrez has been booked for investigation of domestic violence, resisting arrest, drunken driving and assault on a police horse.
He's in custody at the Stanislaus County Jail with bail on an immigration hold.
There's no information about the pregnant woman. (anchor on the way?)
