"This is a random despicable criminal act against a member of the Sikh community," Christianson said. Sheriff Sergeant Tom Letras said two white men ambushed him and beat him to the ground. He was struck multiple times as the assailants screamed, "You're not welcome here!" and "Go back to your country!" They then spray painted his truck, Letras said. The department is looking for help identifying the suspects or witnesses to the crime.
