Video of a loitering arrest by Norman Park police shows two officers violently slamming a man against a car.

Tarius Jackson, 29, said the arrest occurred after he told the first officer to approach, whom he identified as Police Chief Justin Rutherford, that he did not have his wallet.

“I wasn’t resisting or anything,” Jackson said. “It seems like they were trying to make me fight them back, but I wouldn’t fight them.”

The officer who took him to Colquitt County Jail taunted him on the way about how they overpowered him, Jackson said.

The video shows Jackson sitting outside a convenience store and leaning against the wall while smoking. He is with several other people, but the officer walks by the others and directly to Jackson.

Jackson said he had been helping out in the store moving boxes and had just gone outside for a smoke break at the time the officers drove up.

In the video, Jackson stands up and puts his hand behind his back. There was no sound with the video, of which Jackson had a disc copy.

Jackson said Rutherford asked him for identification, and when he said he did not have his wallet on him was ordered to put his hands behind his back.

When he put his hands behind his back, he said, he felt his wallet was in his back pocket and he pulled out his identification.

At about this time on the video a second officer approaches Jackson from his right side and both of them grab Jackson, pull him forward and slam his face and upper body onto the hood of a truck in the parking lot.

Rutherford did not return a call for comment Friday.

A store employee who did not wish to be named due to fear of retaliation by police said that store customers have been harassed by Norman Park officers.

One is a 70-year-old man who for decades has sat in his car in the parking lot while drinking his morning coffee, the employee said. The store has asked police to allow its customers to smoke in the parking lot.

The employee said that the truck on which officers slammed Jackson had a large dent in the hood from the force.

Jackson was charged last week with loitering and disorderly conduct. A criminal search for Georgia and Mississippi, from where Jackson said he moved, did not reveauk a prior criminal history for him.
