TEEN CALLS COP BEATING HORRIBLE

// March 3rd, 2009 // Hott in the Headlines

I’m still shocked by the video I saw a couple of days ago.

MAILIKA CALHOUN, 15, talked to CBS’ “The Early Show” about the shocking video showing her being beaten by Sheriff’s Deputy PAUL SCHENE in a jail cell in Seattle.

Malika, who was initially arrested for auto theft, kicked her shoe at the deputy in a manner that does not appear to be very threatening before the deputy rushes in and kicks the teenage girl, slamming her to the floor and striking her and pulling her hair.

“It was horrible. My head hit the wall,” Calhoun said, adding that the officer was “pulling my hair constantly.”

Deputy Schene has pleaded not guilty to assault charges. According to Chen, the deputies claim the girl was “real lippy” and called them “fat pigs.”

According to CBS News, Schene told investigators through an e-mail conversation with his lawyer that once he was assaulted by the girl kicking her shoe at him, he entered the cell to “prevent another assault,” according to court documents. Schene also said that the girl failed to comply with instructions in the holding area.
