Paul Schene, a police officer from King’s County, is being investigated for alleged police brutality. Deputy Schene was caught on tape beating a girl, 15, when she was in police custody.
The girl was arrested when she took her mother’s car without permission. Schene claimed he acted in defense. Schene claimed the girl kicked her shoes at him and verbally harassed him. The girl was shown on video doing that. Schene rushed into the cell, caught her, slammed her against the wall and then held her down to be handcuffed. Schene pulled her up by her hair and led her out of the temporary holding area.
After the altercation, the girl complained of breathing difficulties. The paramedics were called and they treated her in the sheriff’s office.
Schene is a 8 year veteran on the job. Schene has been charged with assault. Schene, a sheriff’s deputy, is on unpaid, administrative leave.
Some people think this was an unfortunate incident that has cost Schene his job while the minor gets rewarded with a lawsuit and damages.
