Watch the video.
A Milton corrections worker has been charged with battery after surveillance video showed her violently subduing a teenager. Investigators say the video shows the teen didn't deserve the treatment and the state attorney's office says the charge could be upgraded to a felony.
The arrest report describes that the corrections worker gave an account that contradicted what was seen in the surveillance tape. So because of that, she was arrested and charged.
In this video dated August 9th, you see corrections worker Shannon Abbott escorting a teenager girl.
The arrest report says the girl was disruptive in class, and authorities point out that without provocation, Abbott slams the girl onto a wall and then without further aggression, the girl is thrown onto the ground, and Abbott lies on top of her.
Abbott told investigators the girl hit her with her elbow numerous times and tried to resist her but authorities say the video shows otherwise.
Sgt. Scott Haines with the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s office said, "Her statements were obviously not truthful that she gave investigators as to how it transpired."
Abbott was arrested on December 4th and charged with battery. She has since been released on $2,500 bond.
Should those employees who saw what was happening, but did nothing, also face disciplinary action?
