A deputy with the SCSO is on leave after an incident that led to him choking a teenager in jail.   The incident ended up hurting the teen enough, that he was transported to  >Deputy Pizzo grabbed Terrence Reed by the neck and then brought him to the ground. 

 

Deputy Pizzo remains on leave after choking a Black teenager in jail and sending him to the hospital.  Pizzo stated that his actions were due to concern that Reed was going to attack him.  If you watch the surveillance video below, it appears as though Reed does upset the deputy and the deputy starts to go over to Reed.   Reed then stood up in a manger that he may defend himself, but I am not so sure he appeared to be on the attack.
