Orlando, Fla. — Orange County Sheriff John Mina is upset by a video showing a school resource deputy yanking a student by the hair.
The video, posted on Facebook, shows a girl screaming near the back of a patrol car while a crowd of students watch.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office released this body cam video on Friday, captured by the other deputy.
After the girl is put into the squad car, the deputy who pulled the girl's hair turns to the crowd, brandishes his baton and yells, "This is because you're silly. You're all stupid little children."
The child was not arrested. She was later released to a parent, according to a Orange County Sheriff’s Office release.
They say the unnamed deputy in question has been with the Sheriff’s Office since February 2019.
He was working as a law enforcement officer for another agency when he was hired by Orange County.
UPDATE 11/9 - The Orange County Sheriff's Office has identified the School Resource Deputy as Harry Reid.
Reid served as an OCSO deputy from 2000 to 2004 before assuming a law enforcement officer position in North Carolina from 2005 to 2016, eventually returning to Florida where he began serving OCSO once again on February 22, 2019.
The Sheriff’s Office says that the investigation will be sent to the State Attorney’s Office for review after it’s taken care of by their in-house Professional Standards Division.
