Man arrested for vandalizing San Jose bakery, attacking customer

NBC Bay Area reports that Eugene Morgan, 44, was arrested in Arkansas and extradited to San Jose for vandalizing Peter's Bakery on December 17, 2025, and assaulting a customer who attempted to record the incident; Morgan allegedly became enraged after a bakery employee declined his sales pitch, causing property damage and leaving the customer with minor injuries before fleeing. The article is sourced directly from San Jose Police Department announcements and includes specific details—arrest date, location, charges filed (felony vandalism and felony intimidation of a witness with violence), and a statement from SJPD Chief Paul Joseph—indicating solid local news reporting with named law enforcement attribution. Independent search results show NBC Bay Area covers violent crime incidents in San Jose regularly; however, the search results returned (Davit Martinez attacks, Orange County kidnapping) do not corroborate this specific Eugene Morgan incident, suggesting either limited independent coverage of this case or timing differences in reporting. Critical readers should note that the article relies entirely on police statements without independent verification of the assault details or the customer's account, and should watch for any court filings or updates from the district attorney's office as the felony charges proceed through Santa Clara County.
