A bizarre attack on an Albuquerque man in his bed left him beaten and covered with dog excrement. Police say some people he knew beat Thomas Berry , smeared dog feces on him and forced him into women's clothing and makeup.
Police records show Berry was attacked in his apartment near 12th and Aztec Wednesday night.
Berry told police the assailants tried to force a sex toy into his mouth during the attack, stripped him of his clothing and wallet and put women’s clothing on him and makeup.
“He believed that the reason this happened to him is that he had basically turned down a female because he thought she was too heavy, according to the criminal complaint,” Albuquerque Police Department Officer Trish Hoffman said. “The other suspects basically are blaming all of each other and really are not saying as to why they did this.”
The six people arrested are Erika Gonzales, Santiago Aragon, Thomas Varholik, Joey White, Justin Naber and Rory Wainwright. They are being charged with robbery, aggravated battery, kidnapping and attempted rape.
At least one of them was apparently Berry's roommate.
