In November 2019, Deputy Carter was involved in an incident where he rolled over an individual named Smalls onto his stomach to handcuff him. Smalls began to resist, leading to a struggle. Carter’s commands to Smalls to give him his hands and to stop fighting were recorded on body-worn camera footage. Smalls was later diagnosed with bilateral zygomatic arch fractures in his face. The incident led to a lawsuit alleging excessive force and failure to provide medical care. Carter had a history of policy violations, including a 2018 suspension for pointing a firearm at a colleague and multiple high-speed pursuits.
