San Jose Police Announce Arrest and Charges in Peter's Bakery Attack

Police call the case proof of cross-state cooperation.

Overview

  • San Jose police, in a Tuesday update, said Eugene Morgan has been arrested and charged with felony vandalism and felony intimidation of a witness with violence.
  • The case traces to December 2025 at Peter’s Bakery on Alum Rock Avenue, where video showed equipment knocked over after a worker declined to buy his products and a woman who tried to film was assaulted and suffered minor injuries.
  • Fort Smith deputies located Morgan on March 3 during a trespassing call in Arkansas and arrested him on that allegation along with the San Jose warrant.
  • He was extradited to Santa Clara County on April 9 and booked into the Main Jail on the two counts, with the district attorney later filing matching charges.
  • Department leaders said the outcome shows people who leave the area after a crime can still be found and returned to face consequences.
