North Carolina deputy sheriff fired after video shows him brutalizing woman

A video showing a North Carolina sheriff's deputy, James Delao, physically assaulting a woman at an archaeological site has sparked outrage. The incident occurred on June 23, when tensions rose around a real estate project underway on the site where recent excavations had revealed 11 human burial sites, remnants of a lost village. The debate raged between supporters of the project and members of the local Tuscarora tribe. Delao, accused of initiating the fight and assaulting a woman, has since been dismissed from his job and charged with threats, assaulting a woman and filing a false police report. Archaeologists continue to investigate the site and legislators debate the future of the real estate project.
