Video: Donna ISD security officer accused of slamming 16-year-old girl against the ground

DONNA — A school district security officer was arrested Tuesday in connection with a video of a fight in Donna High School that showed him slamming a 16-year-old female student against the ground several weeks ago, according to officials.

Michael Soto, 33, was booked into the Hidalgo County jail on official oppression and false report charges after Donna ISD police conducted an investigation and found evidence that the officer lied about what happened during the Sept. 16 fight.

“I guess they are saying that he lied,” said Soto’s defense attorney Orlando Jimenez. “What happened is that he tried to escort one of the young ladies that was fighting out of the auditorium, and as he is walking out he trips over with the leg of another girl on the floor that was still fighting.”

Jimenez said there are three videos documenting the incident and at least one of them proves the fall was accidental.
