So they not only slammed the teen's head into the concrete, they lied about it and conspired to lie about it in the police report.Three Broward Sheriff’s deputies have been charged for their roles in the violent arrest in April of a black high-school freshman, who was pepper-sprayed, punched and slammed head first into the asphalt of a McDonald’s parking lot in Tamarac.
The rough takedown of 15-year-old DeLucca Rolle was captured on cellphone video and sparked near-immediate backlash, prompting online outrage from elected officials and celebrities like NBA star LeBron James, Miami Dolphins player Kenny Stills and NBA coach Steve Kerr. The video was viewed more than 11 million times by April 25.
Broward State Attorney Mike Satz announced Wednesday that charges were filed against Sgt. Gregory LaCerra and deputies Christopher Krickovich and Ralph Mackey.
LaCerra, 51, was charged with two counts of battery for spraying Rolle in the face with pepper spray and throwing him down. He was also charged with one count of falsifying records and one count of conspiracy to falsify “the description of the circumstances of the juvenile’s arrest,” the Broward State Attorney’s Office said.
Krickovich, 29, is facing two counts of battery for slamming Rolle’s face to the pavement and punching him in the head. Krickovich was also charged with two counts of falsifying records and a single count of conspiracy to falsify records.
Mackey was not charged in the rough arrest, but he faces one count of falsifying records and another count of conspiracy to falsify records.
