There’s an ongoing investigation in Richmond County Sheriff’s Office involving a woman who says a deputy mistreated her.

“When I was on the floor, he had his knees on my back, and he was pulling my hair, but my hands were already like this,” Ruth Jean said, as she puts her hands behind her back. “I don’t know why he was doing that, until two other cops came and they told him to back off. And he put me in a choke.”
