Nothing like a tough guy

How do you turn a Marine into a pancake? Throw sand on the wall and tell him to hit the beach.  Apparently one jarhead took this joke literally as he abused a female army soldier at a Buffalo Wild Wings in Columbia, South Carolina.  Apparently Billy Bad-Ass was an off-duty deputy drinking at the establishment and decided he didn't like the way she was talking to him:






WIS reported:

According to a Columbia Police Department incident report, around 11 p.m. Derrick approached a female soldier from Fort Jackson who appeared to be upset. The report states 23-year-old Brittany Ball showed no interest in Derrick and the two started arguing.

Police say Derrick, who was not in uniform and was drinking alcohol, left the restaurant and returned with handcuffs he retrieved from his vehicle.

Derrick overpowered Ball, handcuffed her, pulled her to her feet, and slammed her head into a metal table, the report states. Ball, according to the report, was also drinking alcohol.

Cell phone video recorded by a bar patron Steven Hughes details the events as they unfolded on the patio of the restaurant.

"I said, 'I'm going to start videoing this, because I think something is about to get out of hand,'" said Hughes. "And about the time I got my video out, he had her turned around and was putting her in handcuffs. I mean she never yelled at him. She never resisted. She was as calm as she could be. Obviously she was scared, I mean when you get arrested, especially if it's your first time you're going to be scared."

In the video, Derrick can be seen trying to force Ball to stand up after cuffing her hands behind her back.

At one point Ball is positioned over a table, and the table collapses.

A police officer who reviewed video of the incident reports hearing Derrick say, "This is how Marines deal with soldiers," while slamming the woman into the table.

It is not clear from the video why Derrick thought it was necessary to restrain Ball.

Restaurant employees and other customers watched nearby and tried to intervene in the incident.

"At an establishment like that if the management hasn't asked you to leave, then you as a customer can't ask somebody to leave," said Hughes. "You have to go get management. That's the whole point of having a business is letting management handle it."

Derrick does not let management handle it. Instead, he warned others away as he remained on the patio with Ball still unable to free herself. By now, Columbia police are on the way. When they arrive, Hughes shows the video to an officer.

"He watched maybe the first 30 seconds of it. And when he heard the Marine-Army comment he said, 'Alright, things just changed. Arrest him, 10-37, and release her.' And that's when I said, 'Sir, I know it's hard, but that's the right thing,'" said Hughes.

Sheriff Leon Lott on Tuesday discussed with Interim Columbia Chief Ruben Santiago and Fifth Circuit Solicitor Dan Johnson.

The Sheriff later fired the deputy.

"That's the whole point of having a business is letting management handle it."

NO. The point of having a business is to make money. That sort of statement destroys all his credibility.

Judging from the article, I'd say the "Marine" should do a prison stretch for false arrest, assault, false imprisonment and kidnapping.

As a Marine myself, I am appalled at this behavior. But, I am not surprised. There are many half wits that join the Corps and become bigger douche bags.

Yes, a business wants to make money and having police cars outside and having incidents like this inside, hurts business. That is why bars have bouncers.

This guy is a disgrace to the Corps, for sure,8:08 am.

He's also a disgrace to police officers!

He also didn't have to put his hands where he did!

If you read todays article he was fired. Whats scary is the sheriff thought the deputy had a legal right to arrest her. As a class 3 officer he had no legal authority to do so. Basically he was a transport officer. Also just watching the video tells you all you need to know. Sick deputy and sick sheriff. Thank goodness someone had the authority to over rule his ass.

If that were my daughter, I would be under arrest for trying to kick that guys arse. Then, I would be in the hospital because he would have kicked mine like sarge does beetle bailey.

It sure looks like the (former) Deputy likes to dominate, intimidate, an batter women. If this is how he acts in public, what does he do when there are no witnesses?

How many women has he 'pulled over', who are now lying in shallow graves? I just have to wonder.

And if he hasn't gone that far, YET... well - I just hope someone will be keeping an eye on him from now on.

And you're right, 8:33: his hands certainly are in odd places. Battering and dominating women seems to turn him on. There's a sexual component in his "arrest".

Like they say in the movies... GET SOME!!!

I like the part where if it weren't for the video no worry, he was already fired!

No problem. The fired officer can always get a job for the Covington, LA police force where they march onto football field and arrest referees for the heinous crime of following the football rulebook.

1:21 Have you got a link for a story? I never heard about this.

I'm on my way out to a meeting. Google "Football Referees arrested." The early stories took the cop's side. But this is Barney Fife on steroids. The ref's are responsible for keep the sidelines clear. A cop had a son on the losing team, he was crowding the sideline and arrested two refs during the game when they told the cop he had to back up.

Got his OJT in those home invasions in Baghdad and Fallujah..and bringing it back home.

Charges have been dropped against the refs and the mayor has apologized. I see litigation from the refs in the near future.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
