Alleged Gay Basher Cole White Makes Things Easy on Police, Turns Himself In

Cole White (pictured), 24, turned himself in to Santa Cruz police after beating a 30-something gay man at a bar early Sunday morning. Not only was White screaming gay slurs (we’re guessing “faggot”?) while attacking the man, there was collateral damage: “The incident occurred both inside and outside the bar, located on the 900 block of Pacific Avenue, and spurred a robbery — a friend of White’s is accused of stealing the victim’s cell phone because it contained a photo of White — and a second fight, where an 18-year-old woman allegedly punched a man in front of the club, according to police. The man suspected in the robbery and the young woman were both arrested early Sunday, according to police.”
