00:00Get on the ground. Get on the ground. Come here. The deputy is seen out of uniform. His only gear

00:06looks to be a bulletproof sheriff vest and a gun drawn and pointed directly at the kids.

00:11The kids seemingly scared, calling out for help to others, asking for police. That's when the

00:16deputy is heard saying, I am the police. The deputy then takes a bag from one of the kids,

00:21where a small altercation breaks out. One kid pushing the deputy, him drawing his weapon,

00:25and once again, pointing directly at the minor. No, no, stop, stop. Their plea only continues,

00:33this time calling out for desperate help from their loved ones.

00:37Hey, help, help, help, help, mom, mom. A later video shows a brother of one of the minors who

00:46showed up after his sibling called crying. Listen closely to the next part, where you hear what

00:51neighbors tell me is why the deputy allegedly took action in the first place.

00:55What just happened? I don't know what happened. They're flashing a gun, bro.

00:59These kids don't have a gun. What the hell? Mom, they're saying they have a gun.

01:03The parents of all minors involved are speaking with attorneys and pursuing charges. They say the

01:08deputy was intoxicated and was not breathalyzed by deputies who responded to the scene. They say

01:13they have more videos coming, too, showing that nothing provoked the deputy from drawing his weapon

01:17on their kids. The Beaufort County Sheriff's Office did not confirm if they retrieved a gun from the

01:22minors. The deputy has been suspended without pay and relieved of his duties. The agency is

01:27conducting an internal investigation and SLED has been asked to investigate for any criminal

01:31violations. Danielle Cobb, WSAP News 3, on your side.
