The Plaquemines Parish Sheriff’s Office has cleared the deputies, saying they “proceeded to use necessary force to effect the arrest.”
A sheriff’s deputy was seen stomping on a 12-year-old boy during an arrest after pulling him over on a dirt bike in Belle Chasse in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, on February 19. An attorney for a 12-year-old boy has released a video that, he says, supports the claim that his client was stomped on by a sheriff's deputy in Louisiana.
Thompson added the boy was riding his bike with friends and family before he was stopped for alleged traffic violations. The boy had pulled over to the side of the road and turned off his engine before deputies approached him, according to the attorney.The sheriff’s office, however,saying that deputies were involved in a chase with several all-terrain vehicles, including the dirt bike the boy was operating.
One rider — 20-year-old Jaiques Wilson — ended up crashing and was arrested, according to deputies. He was sentenced to probation on three felony charges: aggravated obstruction of a highway, aggravated criminal damage and aggravated flight from an officer. "All the facts of these cases will be presented in a court of law and we are confident the truth will be presented and justice will be served in both cases," the Facebook post read.
