Santa Rosa County, FL (WKRG) — The Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office arrested a detention deputy Wednesday after being accused of beating a juvenile at the detention facility last month.

According to a SRSO spokesperson, Detention Deputy Sgt. Ovando Vicente Blankenship was charged after a video obtained by Sheriff’s Detectives revealed Blankenship used excessive force while placing the juvenile into a cell. He then allegedly lied about the details in his incident report.

Blankenship was arrested at the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office and faces charges for cruelty towards a child and falsifying official documents, both third-degree felonies.

No word on the victim’s identity or status due to Florida laws on juveniles and crime.
