BERKELEY — A former Diablo Valley College professor was in custody Wednesday evening after his arrest Wednesday afternoon in Oakland, according to county records.

Eric Clanton, 28, was being held on $200,000 bail after he was booked into Berkeley City Jail Wednesday evening. He was arrested on suspicion of use of a firearm during a felony with an enhancement clause and assault with a non-firearm deadly weapon.

No date was immediately listed for upcoming arraignment hearings.

A former Diablo Valley College staff directory Web page said Clanton, who earned a bachelor’s degree at California State University, Bakersfield, and a master’s degree at San Francisco State in philosophy, worked at the school since 2015, teaching an “introduction to philosophy with a background in teaching ethics, critical thinking, and comparative philosophy East/West” with “primary research interests” of ethics and politics.

Employee records for 2015 and 2016 listed Clanton as a lecturer with the California State University system and a philosophy instructor with the Contra Costa Community College District, according to Transparent California.

Berkeley police were not immediately available to confirm any connection between Clanton’s arrest and social-media-fueled accusations within the last month about attacks during at least one of a series of protests earlier this year.

Cowardly faggot.
I like that "former" sound to his employment too.
Sounds like the coward didn't intend to get the ass whoopen he deserved for assaulting those people with a deadly weapon.
But I'm just guessing.

Confused about the firearm charge. Not even 4chan picked up on that.

Anyone want to bet that he pleads it down to a misdemeanor?

Enhancement clause

Having said that, where's all the guys knocking /pol now? They were having a field day with how stupid it was to believe this was the guy.

Likely. Fucking assault charge? Try him for attempted murder.

Maybe. The first charge is a felony, the second can be either a misdemeanor or a felony, depending.

Maybe some leftist prosecutor will give him a plea deal for the misdemeanor ADW: 90 days jail, 1 year probation.

This makes me happy. Fuck him.

google 245 PC in California, it's assault with a deadly weapon. Doesn't have to be a firearm, but journalists aren't the brightest sort of folks.

Total nutjob, he was probably trying to lure them in with the lock and then use the gun for self defense.

So, most likely the bike lock? If so can he also be tied to the other protest 4 chan found?

I don't know about the other protest, but if you bust someone over the head with a bike lock and they don't lose consciousness or have serious injuries, PC 245 is what I would arrest you for on the booking form. One of the subsections, probably (a)1. If the victim lost consciousness or had skull fractures, I'd book you for attempt murder, 664/187 PC. If it was assault with a firearm, I'd book you for 245(a)2 PC if you missed, or 664/187 PC if you hit with the shot.

In any case, the DA can drop the 245(a)1 charge to a misdemeanor if they want. Unless this guy has a prior record, he'll probably plead to 415 PC and credit for time served. The civil lawsuit will be interesting, though.
