A white noncommissioned Army officer was charged on Wednesday with third-degree assault after he was seen in a viral video shoving a Black man and telling him, “You’re in the wrong neighborhood.”
The Associated Press reported that Jonathan Pentland, 42, was detained in the Richland County jail in South Carolina on Wednesday.
In the video that was originally posted to Facebook on Monday, Pentland can be seen walking close behind a Black man. When asked what he is doing in the neighborhood, the Black man says he is walking, and Pentland responds, Let s go. Walk away.
