A Tampa, Florida, man was arrested last week on suspicion of tackling an 11-year-old girl he believed had been throwing eggs at his home, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said.
A Tampa, Florida, man was arrested last week on suspicion of tackling an 11-year-old girl he believed had been throwing eggs at his home, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said. “This type of behavior is not only unacceptable, it’s reprehensible,” Sheriff Chad Chronister said in a post on X. “The safety of our children is non-negotiable.” Video taken by a bystander and released by authorities on Monday shows Marius Mutu, 43, pinning down the unidentified child who screams for help and insists she has done nothing wrong, the sheriff’s office said. “I wasn’t doing anything, I swear to God!”, the girl is heard screaming in the video as she tries squirming away. “Help me! Help me!” A man, who the sheriff’s office says is Mutu, is seen grabbing her arms and forcing them to her sides as neighbors responded to the commotion and confronted him. “Get off of her,” a woman is heard shouting at the man in the video. “Get your hands off of her!” another person is heard shouting before he sprints into the frame.

Roughly 500 Marines based out of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in California have been mobilized to respond to the protests in Los Angeles, according to three people familiar with the matter, and will join the thousands of National Guard troops that were activated by President Donald Trump over the weekend without the consent of California’s governor or LA’s mayor.
