A Houston deputy was charged with a misdemeanor two years after a dash
cam video shows him repeatedly kicking a man who was already being
smothered by several other deputies in a melee in which four other
family members were arrested, including a woman for video recording with
her iPhone.
Harris County Sheriff’s Captain Jimmie Drummond, who kicked the man so
hard that he ended up with broken ribs, is facing a single charge of
official oppression, punishable by up to a year in jail, which we know he will never serve.
The initial reason for the confrontation was that the man allegedly ran a stop sign, even though he was never cited for that.
Instead, David Braxton Scherz Jr., 26, was charged with criminal
mischief for denting the hood of a deputy’s car, apparently from when
they slammed him against it.
