The North Carolina high school resource officer who was videotaped throwing a girl to the ground in January has resigned, the town of Rolesville said Friday.
Rolesville Police Officer Ruben De Los Santos had been placed on paid administrative leave after the Jan. 3 incident during a fight between students at Rolesville High School.
"De Los Santos, a five-year officer with the police department, tendered his resignation on Thursday and it was accepted, the town`s government said in a statement.
"Sometimes that split second decision doesn`t define the long standing character of the officer.
Rolesville Police Chief Bobby Langston said in a statement that De Los Santos was an officer respected by his peers and the community, and that he was selected as the department`s 2016 Officer of the Year.
