Deena Zaru, ABC NewsLOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is investigating a June 24 incident outside a WinCo Foods grocery store in Lancaster, California, where a sheriff’s deputy slammed a woman to the ground during a confrontation about an alleged robbery in progress.
According to the LASD, two deputies responded to the scene after a report of an in-progress robbery at the WinCo Foods store at the 700 block of West Avenue K-4 in Lancaster. The other sheriff’s deputy is then seen approaching the woman, who appeared to be recording the deputies’ interaction with the man."Get down on the ground. Get on the ground. Stop. Stop or you're going to get punched in the face," the sheriff’s deputy responded.The woman called out that she can’t breathe as the deputy appeared to place his knee near her neck.The deputy then appeared to pepper spray the woman.
“She was recording, but she's involved in this robbery investigation so deputies have to pat her down; make sure she's not armed, make sure she has no weapons, make sure people are safe,” Yu told KABC. “She failed to do that and then she begins to fight with deputies, so my client, as he's trained, takes her down to the ground. It's the safest way and the most tactful way to handcuff a suspect.
