The president of a historically Black college accused sheriff’s deputies in Georgia of intimidating and humiliating the school women’s lacrosse team when deputies pulled over the athletes’ bus and searched it for drugs on 4/20.
Delaware State University President Tony Allen said he’s “incensed” by the stop along Interstate 95 south of Savannah as the team returned from a game in Jacksonville, Florida. In a letter to students and faculty, Allen said nothing illegal was found and campus officials were “exploring options for recourse — legal and otherwise.”“We do not intend to let this or any other incident like it pass idly by,” Allen said in the letter posted Monday on the university’s social media pages.
“I do not exercise racial profiling, allow racial profiling or encourage racial profiling,” Bowman told reporters. The sheriff added that based on what he already knows, “I believe the stop was legal.”Bodycam footage from the stop was released from the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office. In the video, which CNN obtained and then blurred the students’ faces, a deputy can be heard saying, “You are driving from Jacksonville to Delaware.
“If there is anything in y’all’s luggage, we’re probably going to find it, OK,” the deputy says. “I’m not looking for a little bit of marijuana, but I’m pretty sure you guys’ chaperones are probably going to be disappointed in you if we find any.”
