Turns out the white man who accused a Black woman of stealing a ring from a Northern California gym has been arrested himself on felony burglary charges, accused of kicking in doors and smashing windows to enter residential homes to steal jewelry.
“That is the ironic part,” said Sydney LaDay in a Zoom video interview with Atlanta Black Star which is posted above.
“Who are you to tell me I’ve stolen a ring when you are a felon and have a history of burglary and theft of jewelry?”
LaDay, 33, a real estate agent and interior designer in San Mateo County, was falsely accused of stealing a woman’s ring while visiting the HOTWORX gym in Belmont on Feb. 10 as a guest with a friend who was a member.
Neal Lundy III, manager of his father’s franchise, texted her the following day that he had video evidence of her stealing the ring. But that was a lie because the ring’s owner later claimed she had found it at home.
“I have you on camera taking the ring and putting it in your pants,” he texted her the day after she had attended the gym as a guest.
“If you bring the ring back by 7 p.m. today, nothing else will happen. That ring is definitely over a $1,000 which makes stealing it a felony.”
