Police are charging a La Mesa shop owner -- already the subject of a sexual harassment investigation -- with battery and vandalism following a physical altercation between him and local media members Monday recorded on video.
The La Mesa Police Department began investigating reports of alleged harassment on female customers at the hands of Peter Carzis, owner of Peter's Men's Apparel on La Mesa Boulevard, after videos of the alleged harassment were shared on social media over the weekend.
A video, which appears to show Carzis with his hands up a woman's shirt, was shared in the La Mesa Happenings Facebook group over the weekend.
