Man changes story, arrested for attacking Hispanic family

By Lucas Sullivan | Monday, April 20, 2009, 11:16 AM

DAYTON - Police arrested a 25-year-old man on charges he intimidated a Hispanic family and burglarized their home based on their ethnicity.

Mark A. Larick is in Montgomery County Jail on felony aggravated burglary and ethnic intimidation charges after officers said he changed his story about what happened at the home in the 100 block of Bircher Avenue, according to police report.

Officers responded to the area about 2 a.m. on Monday, April 20, after one of the people inside the home said Larick was making threats and broke into the residence, the report stated.

Those inside the home said two men, including Larick and Christopher Richards, came back after words were exchanged between the groups minutes earlier, the report stated.

A victim said Larick and Richards used bats or pipes to break into the home while small children slept on couches, the report stated.

Witnesses heard Larick utter racial slurs and threaten the victims, the report stated. Family members said Larick and another man walked into the living room and said, “they were going to shoot us all illegal Mexican wetbacks,” the report stated.

Larick and Richards also pointed to “Nazi” tattoos they had on their body, witnesses told police.

That’s when officers arrived and quickly squashed the situation, the report stated. Officers found a PVC pipe and several broken windows on the first floor of the home, the report stated.

Larick told officers one of the people inside the home had insulted his girlfriend, but changed his story when police told him his girlfriend was not on the scene at the time of the incident, the report stated.

Officers said Larick was intoxicated.

They determined that Larick and a few men inside the house did have an altercation before Larick and Richards came back to the house a second time, the report stated.

Richards was not arrested and it is unclear if he will face charges.
