MARION COUNTY, S.C. (WMBF/Gray News) – Video of a school resource officer in South Carolina hitting a high school baseball player in the head with a stun gun has gained national attention.
Details leading up to the hit that is making its way around social media are unknown.
Bryan Brockington took the video that shows a deputy putting the student-athlete in a headlock before hitting him in the head with a stun gun after a baseball game at Pee Dee Academy.
According to Sports Illustrated, the baseball player had the only hit for his Robert Lee Academy Cavaliers in a 7-0 loss to Pee Dee Academy.
The video shows a crowd formed around the two as the headlock continued before the baseball player got on his knees.
You can hear the deputy ask where the other fellow was, and another person later appears in the video in handcuffs.
Arguments continued as the deputy claimed the baseball player had stepped on his foot and told him to get off.
The deputy added that the baseball player “isn’t going to talk to him that way.”
The Marion County Sheriff’s Office said the deputy in question has been reassigned pending an investigation by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division.
