Editor’s note: This is the second in a three-part series about the evolution of notorious developer Ryan Wright, also known as Ryan Petetit, and the legal challenges he is currently facing. Read part one:Often with several beautiful women, one on each arm, San Luis Obispo County developer Ryan Petetit was a lady’s man. Whether flying his dates to exotic locations, showering them with gifts, or taking them to exclusive nightclubs, Petetit appeared to appreciate women – until he didn’t.
Morro Bay police asked the San Luis Obispo County District Attorney’s Office to file charges, but the filing was rejected because Doe was uncooperative and afraid. The couple was socializing with friends in Santa Barbara in Aug. 2012 when Petetit became angry, dragged Jewsbury from a bar and forced her into a taxi, according to the lawsuit. Back at their hotel room, Petetit placed both of his hands on her neck, pushed Jewsbury up against a wall and began to choke her, the lawsuit says.
Pismo Beach police arrested Petetit for a misdemeanor charge of corporal injury and booked him in San Luis Obispo County Jail. However, that charge, too, was eventually dropped, but not before a local attorney asked Westbay to lie on the stand, Westbay said. The argument turned physical with Petetit pushing the victim and yelling. Petetit grabbed the victim by the throat and began choking her. He then dragged her to her feet and shoved her head through a bathroom window, shattering the glass.
