Man allegedly tied to Boogaloo movement accused of stalking Dr. Sara Cody

GILROY, Calif. (KTVU) - Authorities believe an alleged member of the “Boogaloo” movement is responsible for stalking and harassing Santa Clara County's top health official.

The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office announced on Tuesday that 55-year-old Alan Viarengo was arrested and charged with sending threatening letters, emails, and phone calls to Dr. Sara Cody over the course of several months.

The Associated Press reports that Viarengo is a professor within the Gavilan Joint Community College District.

Cody started receiving threats in March, not long after she issued a stay-at-home order for all residents of Santa Clara County to inhibit the spread of the rampant coronavirus . The health department confirmed in June that the health officer's COVID-19 restrictions may have made her target.

Cody was under the protection of the sheriff's office. Security detail documented and processed any threatening correspondence she received, authorities said.

It is especially amazing how even some educated and professional people go all-in crazy for Trump.

I used to go to him myself, thought he was great.

But he went full on racist when Obama was elected, covered his yard with birther signs, go back to Africa shit, the works.

I mean covered, like he was trying to win a contest.

It was so bad his neighborhood took up a petition to try to force him to move.
