Judge orders arrest of man who put up fence, sign to block visitors at Daly City beach

DALY CITY, Calif. (KGO) — A judge has ordered the arrest of the man who authorities say put up a fence to block a popular path at Daly City’s Thornton State Beach.

The ABC7 Eyewitness News I-Team has learned Luke Brugnara is due in court on Wednesday for a hearing after federal prosecutors asked a judge to revoke his bond.

Brugnara, a convicted art swindler, does not own the property.

Last month, Daly City police arrested him for allegedly threatening to shoot trespassers near the fence.

The sign has since been taken down.

Brugnara told the I-Team’s Dan Noyes earlier Wednesday that he did not know he’s due in court.
