Ohio police sergeant placed on leave after video shows him punching Black woman during arrest

A police sergeant in Ohio was placed on paid leave after a video surfaced of him repeatedly punching a Black woman in the head while arresting her outside of a McDonald's in Butler Township, police said. 

The video shows two police officers, identified as Sgt. Todd Stanley and officer Tim Zellers, struggling with a woman. Zellers seemingly holds a Taser up to the face of the woman, identified as Laticka Hancock, when Stanley strikes her three times.

Attorney Michael Wright, who is representing Hancock, said during a press conference Wednesday that she ordered McDonald's and realized that the order was missing cheese that she paid extra for, so she went back into the restaurant to get her order corrected. Wright said that the chef in the McDonalds asked Hancock to pay an extra 30 cents for the addition when she pulled out a receipt to prove her order was incorrect.
