A viral video that shows a Texas sheriff’s deputy pinning an 18-year-old woman to the ground sparked an investigation and led to the deputy getting placed on administrative leave. A body camera video released by the department shows Martin approach the barefoot and agitated teen after cops received multiple calls that she was suicidal and jumping into traffic, police said in a press release. He holds her by the arm while telling her she needs to stay still when she refuses to engage with him, video shows. When the teen eventually pulls away, Martin pins her to the ground as she repeatedly yells "I can’t breathe," footage shows. Ray then "struck Deputy Martin," the sheriff’s office said, and was taken to the ground by Martin and arrested.
