Patrol Car Tape Leads To Suit Against Ex-Deputy | News
McLEAN, Va. (AP) - A former Loudoun County deputy is being sued after a patrol car camera appears to show him sprinting to knock out an unsuspecting arrestee with a blow to the back of the head.
Sterling resident Carlos Garcia filed the lawsuit in federal court in Alexandria against former deputy Terry Daniel, who now lives in Alabama. Video from the November 2009 arrest has been posted on YouTube. It depicts a Loudoun deputy charging from behind at Garcia, who is standing with his hands raised next to another deputy.
Garcia wound up being charged with assaulting a police officer and pled to reduced charges, though he now insists he did nothing wrong. Daniel was promoted before resigning last year.
Daniel said he is hiring a lawyer and declined further comment.
