A school police officer in San Antonio, Texas, has been suspended, with pay, and is facing an excessive force investigation after a video surfaced showing him body slamming a 12-year-old girl outside of a middle school.

Joshua Kehm, 27, was identified by the school district as being the officer in the video, the San Antonio Express-News reports. He formerly spent seven years in the USAF. During his time in the Air Force he worked as a patrolman, patrol sergeant, command and control operator, non-lethal weapons instructor and security forces trainer.

The girl in the video is Janissa Valdez, a sixth grader, according to News 4 San Antonio. The incident began as a “verbal altercation” between two girls at about 4 p.m. on March 29, outside of the middle school. Janissa Valdez told News 4 San Antonio, “I was going up to her to tell her let’s go somewhere else so we could talk but that’s when the cop thought I was going at her.”

The girl’s mother, Gloria Valdez reports that the officer said her daughter “tried” to kick him. She also states that her daughter was knocked out and the girl has suffered from severe headaches since the incident. She also said “You could actually hear her head hit the concrete. That’s what hurt me the most. And he didn’t even seem like it bothered him. And he still handcuffed her after she was unconscious.”
