A video shows a Southern California sheriff’s deputy slamming a teenage girl to the ground during a fight outside a Friday night high school football game.
The sheriff’s department provided few details about the brawl outside the game. The news release said deputies responded shortly before 6:30 p.m. and found “multiple parties” fighting.
The department alleges the teenager grabbed another deputy’s pepper-ball launcher before the altercation. That deputy had sprayed pepper balls into the crowd to try to get people to disperse, “but the effort was ineffective, and the parties began moving toward the deputy,” the agency said in the news release.“He attacked my daughter from behind,”. “She’s 16 years old. He was a grown man and he attacked my daughter.
The deputy’s actions are under investigation — which is the agency’s policy for any use of force — and his name has not been made public. The department said no deputies have been suspended or disciplined. Priscilla Jeffers did not immediately respond to The Associated Press’ request for comment Monday, nor did the school’s principal and the district attorney’s office.
A 16-year-old boy was taken into custody after he allegedly punched a deputy in the face during the brawl, the sheriff’s department said. While the agency said he was booked into a juvenile facility, the teen’s mother said she was initially unable to locate him.. “He was in the wrong and used aggressive force on a 16-year-old.”The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting.
