https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jogger-joe-arrested-threw-homeless-mans-belongings-in-lake-oakland-california/A man who was caught on camera throwing a homeless man's belongings into a lake last week has been arrested.
The man, originally known only as "Jogger Joe," was spotted near Merritt Lake in Oakland, California on Friday, June 8. Several bystanders stopped to talk to him and protest as he angrily threw out a homeless man's things. A witness named JJ Harris stopped to take video of the incident.
Harris' video shows the shirtless jogger bending over to gather armfuls of a homeless man's belongings while a woman tells him to stop. "Jogger Joe" drags the belongings to a trash can and some of them are seen floating in the nearby lake.
"What are you doing with this stuff, man?" Harris is heard asking in the video.

The homeless man whose belongings were thrown around by Sintay has been identified as Greg Markson. Most know Markson as "Jarew," The Mercury News reports. People in the area who saw the video began bringing Markson food and clothing.
A woman named Cari Geldreich says she offered to bring Markson's blankets to a laundromat for him, the paper reports. She describes Markson as very humble.
"Sometimes I take him a bag of apples," Geldreich told the newspaper -- a kind gesture that stood in stark contrast to what Markson experienced just days earlier from "Jogger Joe."
