While at a Oakwood BBQ sheriff deputy Jack Danford Jr. was eating with his family as a 12 year old was playing with her small dog around the restaurant, at one point Jack picked up the dog to pet it and then put it down again. A few minutes later the girl started playing with the dog again at which point Jack got up, tackled her and proceeded to beat the shit out of her.
Lickily the girls step dad was able to knock em out with a well placed boot to the head and the girl is recovering from her injuries.
Williamson County Sheriff Robert Chody tweeted a statement saying:
@chief_manley @Austin_Police I'd like to apologize for the actions of one of my deputy's whom your officers were forced to arrest on Saturday. I know this was a tough choice but the right call. WilCo demands professionalism bcuz thats who we are now. Hope help is sought by dpty .
Yeah I'm sure it's hard choice to make to arrest someone who just beat a child half to death.
