An off-duty Richland County sheriff's deputy is in hot water after allegedly assaulting a woman, handcuffing her and slamming her head into a table at a Columbia restaurant on Monday 

Columbia police arrested 49-year-old Deputy Paul Allen Derrick at Buffalo Wild Wings on Devine Street and charged him with assault.

The incident happened just after 11 p.m.

According to a Columbia Police Department incident report, Derrick approached a female soldier from Fort Jackson who appeared to be upset. The report states the 23-year-old 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.

Several people in the business recorded the incident on their cell phones as Derrick, according to the report, tried to handcuff the female soldier. Derrick overpowered the woman, handcuffed her, pulled her to her feet, and slammed her head into a metal table, the report states.

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

  1. Looks like someone needed a couple extra weeks of vacation at the taxpayers expense.

  2. I get to deal with these SOBs every day. Good thing he only returned with handcuffs, and not the RCSD's M113 with a friggin Ma Deuce. Getting worse everyday here in Columbia with the thug gangs and the badged gangs.

  3. Instead of recording his abominable act, why did not someone in that bar open up a can of whoop ass on the sorry individual? Are there no real men in Columbia?

    Shame on all of them.
