Assault on high school student lands SC deputy in jail and costs him job [View all]
A sheriffs deputy, working as a school resource officer was charged with multiple crimes after an incident with a high school student, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division said Tuesday.
William Kenneth Sumner, 57, was arrested and fired after he grabbed an underage Lamar High School student following an argument on April 16, SLED spokesman Tommy Crosby said in a news release.
The former Darlington County sheriffs deputy grabbed the student by his clothes and yanked him out of a chair in an office at the school, arrest warrants show. The 6-foot-8, 370-pound Sumner then shoved the minor against a wall while still gripping the student by his clothes, the arrest warrant said.
Surveillance cameras at the school captured the incident, according to the arrest warrant. Information on what Sumner and the student argued about was not made available.
