COLUMBIA, SC — A drunken sheriff’s deputy was recorded during a strange and inappropriate altercation when he tried to arrest a female soldier at a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant in Columbia, because she allegedly turned down his advances.

...On October 7th, 23-year-old Brittany Ball, a USMC member out of Fort Jackson, was allegedly upset at the restaurant when approached by Richland County Deputy Paul Allen Derrick. She apparently did not want anything to do with him, which caused the aggressive deputy to become enraged and the two began to argue.

Derrick, a 17 year veteran, left the restaurant to go retrieve handcuffs and his gun from his vehicle, then returning to try and arrest Ball. He was recorded screaming at her and barking orders as he twisted her arms behind her back.

The report states that Derrick handcuffed her, pulled her to her feet, and slammed her head into a metal table.

The video shows the berserking officer repeatedly ordering the woman to “STAND UP” and “SIT DOWN.” While he held her in handcuffs against her will, he wrapped his arm around her neck and kept resting his hand on her breast.

“Let her go!” shouted a woman from off-camera.
