RALEIGH, North Carolina – A 16-year-old sophomore at Raleigh’s Enloe High School said he became the victim of police brutality at a visit to the State Fair this past weekend.

Joshua Satterwhite was with his friends Saturday night, eight of them in all, when they had the run-in with a Wake County sheriff’s deputy as they were exiting the fairground just before midnight.

The teen said he’s been unable to forget it and his mom is demanding answers.

“I didn’t think about my rights or whatever, I was thinking, am I going to leave the fair alive,” Joshua said.

FUN EVENING AT FAIR TURNS VIOLENT

It all began as any typical night at the fair. But Joshua said that as he and his friends headed through the exit gates, the sheriff’s deputy on duty took notice of the group.

“As (the officer) walked passed us, he told us to have a good night and I said ‘you too,’ ” Joshua recalled. “And he said, ‘oh trust me, I will,’ that was his exact words. He said ‘oh trust me, I will.’ ”

That’s when the teen’s story took a violent turn.

“I had turned my back around and kept walking and maybe two to three seconds later, he was behind me and he was choking me,” Joshua said.

Joshua, who plays varsity football at Enloe, said the encounter ended with the officer tackling him to the ground; tightly handcuffing his arms behind his back. Joshua said he did not resist.

“It all happened so fast. I just remember my friends’ reactions. They were saying, ‘get off him, what did he do? Get off him,’ ” Joshua recalled.

No charges were filed and Joshua was let go when he showed deputies he was only 16.
