Gang member sentenced in hate-crime case
From Times Staff Reports
A Huntington Beach man was sentenced to nearly three years in state prison Monday after pleading guilty to felony hate-crime charges for yelling racial slurs and spitting on a black man in a wheelchair.
Ronald Lee Bray, 25, was identified by the Orange County district attorney’s office as a member of a white supremacist gang. Bray also rolled the man’s wheelchair into a light post and raised his arm in a Nazi salute during the July 7, 2006, incident in Costa Mesa, the district attorney’s office said.
