Yet Another Dirty Pig




A Seattle deputy apparently lost his temper and attacked 15-year-old girl who was just arrested for stealing her parents' car earlier that evening.

The girl was apparently arrested with her friend and placed in a holding cell in King County when Deputy Paul Schene lost his temper and let the girl's disgraceful remarks push him to attack the 15-year-old.

The officer is seen in the video charging the holding cell after the 15-year-old threw her shoe at him, grabbing her by the hair and slamming her into the wall before throwing her to the ground and punching her twice.

This is not the first time the deputy's actions on duty have been questioned.

Schene fatally shot a mentally ill man in 2006 after a traffic stop struggle on Interstate 5. It was the second shooting of his career, although both were ruled as justified.

While on paid leave after the 2006 shooting, Schene was stopped for drunken driving. He registered a .04 percent blood alcohol level during a test, but had been drinking and taking prescription medications. He was suspended for two days and a received a deferred sentence, public records say.
