Summit County authorities say Jay Cromwell III, 38, of Commerce City showed his derriere on a public bus last Thursday night, and that was just the start of a bizarre altercation.
After Cromwell reportedly dropped his trousers and exposed his buttocks, he allegedly assaulted another passenger and made enough derogatory comments to escalate the incident to a hate crime, according to the Summit County Sheriff's Department.
The gender and race of the person Cromwell was accused of harassing and assaulting was not released.
Cromwell remains in the Summit County Jail under $2,500 bond on charges of third-degree assault, bias-motived crimes and harassment.
While harassment and third-degree assault are misdemeanors, the hate-crime charge is a felony and carries up to three years in jail and up to $100,000 in fines, according to the Sheriff's Department.
