Harris County Deputy Faces Excessive Force Lawsuit & Investigation After Video Contradicts Arrest Report
Houston, Texas
A Harris County Sheriff’s deputy is in the hot seat on grounds he engaged in some unnecessary rough housing while apprehending a woman at a Target store.
According to the surveillance tape, it appears the deputy grabs the woman, slams her up against a wall and tackles her to the ground.
"I don't know. I was talking to him and then next thing I know, I'm in handcuffs. Beaten up," said Gonzalez. "He says I resisted arrest and failed to (show my identification), which none of those are true."
After watching the video, the Harris County District Attorney’s Office dropped both charges against Gonzalez.
