Horse's tail is yanked and child rider gets chucked. California woman arrested
Police have arrested a San Francisco woman suspected of yanking a horse's tail and causing a young rider to be chucked off in a wild encounter that has since become a viral video. On Monday, the Daly City Police announced that they had arrested Tomasa Panjojleon, 29, on suspicion of felony child endangerment in the tail-pulling incident that left a young boy with injuries. The charge is punishable by up to six years in prison under state law. The unexpected rumpus took place on Feb. 23 at the Thornton Beach Recreation Area when the young boy was taking a riding lesson on a horse from Ocean View Stables. "Officers learned that, during a riding lesson, a juvenile rider fell from a horse after an unknown female subject approached the horse from behind and pulled its tail," the Daly City Police said in a statement. "The unexpected action startled the horse, resulting in the juvenile being thrown off." The suspect fled the scene before police arrived but was later identified as Panjojleon, who was then arrested Saturday and booked into San Mateo County Main Jail in Redwood City, police said. A family member said on social media that the fall left the boy with bruises all over his body and a limp, but fortunately he did not suffer a concussion as he was wearing a helmet. He injured his right ankle and was advised by a doctor to avoid walking for a week, the family member said.

"Thanks again for your prayers and support towards my cousin this is been a really tough week for us. But we will keep fighting for justice!!!" Caroline Reed, barn manager at Ocean View Stables, told local news station KRON 4 that the incident took place during their normal pasture pony ride and that the horse, named Zeuss, was also injured, although she didn't specify what the injury was. "We take kids out on a little 10- to 15-minute ride to get them used to horses and comfortable,' Reed told the station. "It was a very odd circumstance. You wouldn't think anyone would walk up to a horse and just yank its tail. That's not really the normal thing for someone to do around an animal like that." Anyone with more information about the tail yanking is asked to contact the Daly City Police Department Investigations Division at (650) 991-8270.

Thieves hit 'The Money Queen' influencer's Bel-Air home, wind up with fake cash
An influencer known as "The Money Queen" declared that "karma won" after burglars broke into her Bel-Air home and made off with piles of fake cash used for a photo shoot. The Los Angeles Police Department responded to a call about a burglary in process at a home shortly after 1 a.m. Monday, according to a department spokesperson. By the time officers arrived, the suspects were gone. The home belongs to financial influencer Amanda Frances, an author and creator of online courses who says her aim is to help women acquire wealth. "The burglars ransacked my closet, damaging my home in the process, but they dropped nearly everything, prioritizing the prop money when confronted by a neighbor's security guard," Frances said in a statement shared with The Times. The thieves abandoned several designer bags in the streets, which the police were then able to recover, she said. In their rush to flee, they left some of the fake money scattered in the street. She believes they also made off with a handful of purses, a ring and a necklace but dropped most of the items of major value. The fake money was used in a recent photo shoot to promote Frances' "Money Mentality Makeover" digital course. In the past, Frances has withdrawn and returned real money from the bank for photo shoots, but she opted for prop money this time after her photographer suggested it would be safer, she said. Although Frances is relieved the stolen money was fake, she remains rattled by the experience. "I've worked incredibly hard my entire life to build what I have and own my home in Bel-Air," she stated. "I am disheartened and distraught that the city I have dreamed of living in — since I was a child being raised in a tiny town in Oklahoma — has turned out to be an unsafe place to raise a family."

Frances founded an online education and coaching company specializing in financial empowerment courses for women in 2011. The influencer now has more than half a million followers on Instagram, where she bills herself as a "self-made multimillionaire" and a "repetitive unrealistic goal achiever." In an Instagram message shared with The Times, Frances noted that she bought the home from Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky, who raised their four children at the property. Richards is Paris Hilton's aunt and best known for her long-running role on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," while Umansky is a real estate broker known for his own reality show, "Buying Beverly Hills." "They raised their four kids here, I have four kids," she told The Times. "This is a family home and we no longer feel safe."
