Assault on high school student lands SC deputy in jail and costs him job

[left-of-center2012]

A sheriff’s 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 sheriff’s 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.

1. Good riddance.

2. He seems so pleasant and congenial...

Put him in the proper uniform he would make a nice Sgt. Shultz in McHale's Navy.

Nazi goon,.. beating up little children.

4. That's like a mixed metaphor

Sgt. Shultz was in Hogan's Heroes. McHale's Navy was in the Pacific and did not encounter Nazis.

5. Yes,... yes,... yes....

Your correct,... sorry,... I did not have my television thinking cap on.

12. I named my German Shepherd service dog Shultz.

Couldn't figure out what to name him and while my then husband and I were watching him play and be goofy we both lit up in unison as said "Shultz!!!" He reacted happily to his name immediately.

9. That's the biggest frown I have ever seen

[Bayard]

10. Holy Crap!!

6-foot-8, 370-pounds. He could have just intimidated the kid into submission. Once again, a camera saves the day.

No smile lines on that face....

11. He probably viewed his job there as a corrections officer. nt

13. Who in their right mind

would select this guy as a school resource officer?

[Probatim]

14. If he were amiable, I could see it happening.

A big guy like that with a good personality would be a good addition to the school. Kids would treat someone like with respect and deference.

It doesn't look like he's too pleasant though.
