The bulk of the video shows a tense conversation between a group of deputies and one woman who clutches her baby while sitting cross-legged on the ground. The deputies are heard saying that the woman was riding in a car driven by someone without a valid license, and that her baby was not in a car seat. After several minutes of back-and-forth, deputies pry the woman’s hands apart, and she begins screaming as the child is removed from her arms.
At Wednesday’s news conference, Luna said that he had learned of the incident only a few days earlier, and that he “took swift action” by firing the deputy and sending the matter to the FBI and local prosecutors.In a Facebook post a day later, the Assn. for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs publicly identified the deputy who’s seen throwing the punches as Timothy Gardner.
“The deputies were all concerned that harm was going to come because the woman said she was not going to give up the baby unless somebody shot her,” Hadden said. “So Deputy Gardner struck her, and she dropped the baby.”Under state law, police officers must generally face discipline within one year of their department learning about alleged misconduct. Friday marks the one-year anniversary of the incident.
The man who was handcuffed at the scene was ultimately cited on suspicion of resisting an officer, attempted petty theft and interfering with a business. The woman was hospitalized for the effects of the pepper spray and for abrasions to her arm. She was released but cited on suspicion of assaulting an officer, as well as battery on allegations that she had assaulted store loss prevention personnel.Luna called the incident “disturbing” but declined to name the deputies involved.
After Guardado got on the ground, Vega claimed, the young man reached for the gun.

Cuyahoga County Council’s peevish, unhelpful attitude on County Jail planning just hurts everyone: editorialReasonable engagement and pragmatic problem-solving without pointless politicking are what’s required from Cuyahoga County Council to resolve the jail-siting issue and determine how to pay for the property, the new jail itself and possible fixes or replacement of the aging Justice Center. County Executive Chris Ronayne has proposed a 40-year extension of the county’s quarter-percent sales tax. That needs to be fully and fairly debated, also. Anything less would be a betrayal of the public interest, writes the editorial board of The Plain Dealer and cleveland.com.
