Problem:An Occupy Sacramento protester has been accused of throwing a pie into the face of the city’s mayor. The suspect has been named as 32-year-old Sean Thompson. According to the SACPD, Thompson “assaulted” Mayor Kevin Johnson at an event on the evening of September 21. He’s facing charges of “assaulting a public official” and is being held at Sacramento County Jail. The press release adds that Thompson “sustained a minor injury” and was treated at a local hospital. 
  
 Here’s what you need to know: 
  
 1. One Witness Says Johnson Punched Thompson ‘Repeatedly’ in the Face 
  
 CBS Sacramento reports that Thompson hit Johnson “with a pie and fist.” An official spokesperson, Crystal Strait, told the Sacramento Bee, “Let me be clear, the mayor was assaulted tonight. He is home with his family…The whole thing is just shocking.” She added that the suspect “brought (the pie) with him. He pulled it out of a bag…It was a blur.” Strait also said, “The mayor just felt he was being punched in the face.” Another witness, Kitty O’Neal, told the Bee that she saw the mayor punch the assailant. 
  
 The East Bay Express’ Nick Miller reports that that witnesses saw the mayor punch the pie-thrower “repeatedly” and that the suspect was a “bloody pulp.” That report adds that afterwards, the mayor received applause from the crowd. 
  
 One of the attendees at the event, Sacramento High School’s Farm-To-Fork Seeds of Hope dinner, was UFC fighter Urijah Faber, reports ABC Sacramento. Faber told the station that Johnson “fought back” against his attacker. While Sacramento journalist Crisinta Mendonsa quoted a witness on Twitter as saying, “The Mayor took care of business.” 
  
 2. Thompson Was Arrested in 2011 As Part of Sacramento’s ‘Occupy’ Movement 
  
 In October 2011, Thompson was arrested, along with other protesters, as part of Sacramento’s version of the Occupy movement. The Sacramento City Express reports that at the time Thompson was “a biochemistry major and Associated Student Government senator at City College.” The website says that members of the group were arrested for staying in Cesar Chavez Park in the city after it had closed. Thompson said at the time: 
  
 The city police were very civil about it. We were both very accommodating to each other, but when we got to the county sheriff’s, they were rude and treated us like violent criminals. They threatened us and called us names— absolutely unprofessional. 
  
 Thompson said in an interview about what inspired him to help start Occupy Sacramento, “I think everyone has been upset and disheartened because of the times, and when I saw the protests taking place in New York, I thought immediately something like that needs to happen everywhere, something needs to happen here.” His case was dismissed in December 2012. Thompson and his friends later attempted to sue the city of Sacramento over their treatment. 
  
 3. Homelessness Is One of Thompson’s Main Causes 
  
 During an interview with Capitol Weekly about the Occupy protests, Thompson express one of his major political concerns, “Personally, it would completely satisfy me if I could just see no one living on the streets of Sacramento. I think everyone has the right to a warm home, 24 hours.” 
  
 According to his Facebook page, Thompson is from Sacramento and is a graduate of city college and of Casa Roble Fundamental High. He describes himself as an “artist and philosopher” on his page. 
  
 The Sacramento Bee reported in February 2016 that Mayor Johnson was looking for funding to support a task force to deal with the city’s homeless problem. A month previously, KCRA reported that Johnson’s administration came in for criticism over their handling of a homeless protest outside city hall. In May 2016, the Bee reported that Johnson had missed a key meeting on the homeless issue.

 SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A man smacked Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson in the face with a pie at a charity dinner, and the former NBA star went on the defensive, his top aide said. 
  
 The mayor had given a speech at the Seeds of HOPE dinner at Sacramento Charter High School on Wednesday night before the man pulled the pie from a bag, grabbed Johnson and shoved it in his face, said the mayor's chief of staff, Crystal Strait. 
  
 She said Johnson defended himself, but she would not give details. A booking photo released by police shows Sean Thompson, 32, with a bruised and cut eye. 
  
 Police arrested Thompson on suspicion of assaulting a public official, which is a felony, the Sacramento Police Department said in a statement. It wasn't clear if he had retained an attorney. 
  
 Johnson tweeted that he's "doing fine," adding, "Thank you to Sac PD for being there." 
  
 Strait emphasized that it was a serious and scary situation and there was nothing funny about it, especially because no one, including the mayor, could tell immediately that it was a pie the man was holding. 
  
 "The mayor was assaulted. I was standing right there, and I'm still pretty shaken up," Strait said, speaking some three hours after it happened. 
  
 Both police and Strait said Thompson was not previously known to the mayor and his staff. 
  
 After cleaning up, Johnson spoke again to calm nerves at the event, which was held in the school's garden and featured many of the city's top restaurateurs. 
  
 Johnson, who had a long career as an NBA All-Star with the Phoenix Suns and a brief stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers, has about two months left as mayor after deciding not to seek a third term. 
  
 The 50-year-old is married to Michelle Rhee, a former chancellor of Washington, D.C., schools, who was at the event Wednesday night. 
  
 Johnson's signature achievement in office was getting a $500 million arena built for the city's NBA team, the Sacramento Kings. 
  
 His final two years in office were marked by the re-emergence of a decades-old claim of sexual abuse from a woman who was a teenager when Johnson played for the Suns. The Phoenix Police Department investigated but did not file charges. 
  
 Johnson has denied the allegations and that they had anything to do with his decision to leave office. ||||| Tweet with a location

Solution:
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson was hit in the face with a pie Wednesday night—and there wasn't a clown in sight. The former NBA star was a guest at a fundraising event when a man wielding the pie lunged at Johnson, landing it smack in his face, reports the East Bay Express. Johnson tackled the man and punched him repeatedly, witnesses tell the newspaper. (The police mug shot, in the photo gallery, bears that out.) Cops arrested Sean Thompson, 32, at the event at Sacramento Charter High School, and he was taken to a hospital with minor injuries. Thompson, who was charged with felony assault of a public official, is a member of Occupy San Francisco, notes Heavy. He was arrested at a protest in 2011, per the Sacramento City Express. About 200 people, including some of the city's top restaurateurs, saw the incident unfold around 6:40pm as Johnson attended a Seeds of HOPE dinner on behalf of "food literacy." His chief of staff said the assault was no joke. "I was standing right there, and I'm still pretty shaken up," she said, per AP. The two-term Johnson, who is not running for reelection, thanked the police on Twitter. "Appreciate everyone. I'm doing fine," he wrote. "Be safe everyone." Police did not comment on why the mayor was targeted, but the East Bay Express said protesters have followed him since a decades-old sexual abuse claim reemerged last year. Johnson, who played with the Phoenix Suns at the time, was never charged in the case.
