SANTA MONICA, CA — Santa Monica police arrested a second suspect in connection with a bear spray attack on the Santa Monica Pier during a confrontation between Pro-Trump and Anti-Trump groups in October.

"During the search, evidence was recovered, which included chemical spray canisters similar to what was used on the Pier," the SMPD press release said.

Krongchana, 43, was arrested and transported to the Santa Monica jail, according to authorities.

Krongchana is accused of spraying bear repellent into a crowd of anti-Trump protesters when a fight escalated between supporters and protesters of the president on the Santa Monica Pier on Oct. 19. Officers responded to the Santa Monica Pier regarding an assault that occurred when two organized groups, a Pro-Trump group and an Anti-Trump group, confronted each other, the Santa Monica Police Department said. At some point during the confrontation, two people began to spray the crowd with pepper/bear spray, the press release said.
