Investigation underway after NC deputy punches woman at county fair
WAYNE COUNTY, NC (WTVD) — An investigation is underway after video shows a deputy punch a woman while escorting her out of the Wayne County Fair.
Cell phone video showed 18-year-old T’Ziah Kelly in a tussle with a deputy before he punches her in the head Saturday.
The video also showed Kelly returning a jab.
“Looking at the video I feel hurt, betrayed. Because my daughter should have been protected,” said her mother, Lateryka Sanders.
Sanders filed a complaint Monday against the deputy.
“He needs to be fired,” Sanders said. “It could have been worse.”
Kelly said all of this started when she rushed to break up a fight between her brother and another teen.
