The Sheridan Police Department released body camera video showing an incident that led to the arrest of a Sheridan police officer. Officer Shawn Ralph is facing a second-degree assault charge after allegedly using a chokehold on a woman under arrest for shoplifting.
According to an affidavit, the woman was sitting on a curb in handcuffs when she gets up and approaches the owner of the store she was accused of shoplifting. An officer intervened, and during that confrontation, the women spat at him.
The woman is then pushed to the ground, and the video shows the officer's hand around her neck. His hand remained around her neck for about five seconds before other officers intervened and pushed his arm away.
