Teen in video that shows violent takedown by BSO deputies is arrested again, police say

MIAMI-The 15-year-old who was at the center of a viral video that showed Broward deputies pepper-spraying him and smashing his head on the ground has been arrested again-this time in Lauderhill.

On Saturday, Lauderhill spokesman Lt. Mike Santiago said Delucca Rolle was arrested after 11 p.m. Friday on charges of trespassing in a stolen conveyance and resisting arrest without violence.

No other details about the arrest would be released until Monday, Santiago said in an email.

On April 18, Delucca, a J.P. Taravella Senior High School freshman, was in the parking lot of a McDonald's near the school when the confrontation took
place.

Shortly after the incident, cellphone video circulated that showed a deputy pepper-spraying the handcuffed teen in the face and the forcing him to the ground. Another deputy jumps and forcibly pushes his head to the cement.

In the background, the video shows a female screaming, "What are you doing! What are you doing! He's bleeding, he's bleeding!" Dozens of students circled around the
officers.
