The former deputy will be required to spend time in jail after a deal was reached on Monday.
WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Texas — A former Williamson County deputy is pleading guilty to assault and official oppression.video shows Christopher Pisa taking down a 29-year-old Army veteranPisa pulled over Imani Nembhard with her two young children in the back seat because she didn't have a front license plate in the car she was driving. Nembhard was driving her brother's car on Easter Sunday 2019 on Texas Highway 195 when Pisa stopped her.
Moments into the stop, Pisa asks Nembhard if she loves her daughters and why they were not in a car seat. After Nembhard tells Pisa the car isn't hers, he asks her to shut off her engine. Nembhard tells Pisa she doesn't feel safe turning the car off. He then walked to the driver's side of the car and threw her to the ground.
Pisa took Nembhard to jail on a charge of assaulting a peace officer and resisting arrest, but those were later dismissed. The Texas Rangers investigated the incident and a Williamson County grand jury indicted Pisa in October 2020. At the time, the Williamson County Sheriff's Office was also under scrutiny for allegations of excess force under then-sheriff Robert Chody.
