Army drill sergeant who shoved Black man found guilty of misdemeanor assault

A U.S. Army drill sergeant caught on camera shoving a young Black man in South Carolina was found guilty Monday of third-degree misdemeanor assault.

Jonathan Pentland, 42, must either spend 30 days in jail or pay a $1,087 fine.

Pentland shoved Deandre Williams, 22, on April 12 in a northeast Columbia subdivision known as The Summit. In addition to the shove, Pentland told Williams he was “in the wrong neighborhood” and “I’m about to do something to you. You better start walking right now.”

Williams’ father said his son was diagnosed with cancer two years ago, which led to swelling of his brain that caused Williams to struggle with completing basic tasks, according to the Post and Courier. Prosecutors also said Pentland shoved Williams once prior to the start of the video.

On the stand, Pentland said he’d “do the same thing again,” local newspaper The State reported.

He might not have such a pleasant time if he does stay in
