Pasco Sheriff Investigates After Video Shows Officer Slam Student to the Ground

Pasco County Sheriff’s Office said it was investigating a complaint made against a resources officer at Sun Lakes High School in Florida.

A statement said the incident happened on April 24 when the officer was called to remove a student from the cafeteria. “He then attempted to put the student in custody and she resisted,” the statement read.

This follows the release of footage online which appears to show an officer slam a girl to the ground with force.

This video shows a teenage girl struggle with a man who appears to be in uniform. She is slammed to the ground. She then tells the man her shirt is coming off.

He curses at her and asks, “Is this what I’ve got to do everyday?” She responds by saying that he is hurting her. Credit: Natalie Cruz via Storyful
