A video taken by a witness of the entire incident promptly went viral on the internet and garnered negative reactions. The Oklahoma teenager in the video, identified as 17-year-old Caleb Janson, was taken into custody when police allegedly received complaints regarding his drunken and disorderly behavior from other fair-goers. When approached by Tulsa County police officers, Janson allegedly resisted arrest, which caused the officers to use physical force.

When Tulsa officers struggled to handcuff the teenager, one of them slammed his fist into the teen's head. At one point, the deputy seemed to drive his knee into Janson's neck. He then dragged the teen's apparently limp body across the asphalt, with the boy's face turned towards the ground. It was at this point that the officers arrested him.

People can be heard screaming: "What the f**k is the matter with you? Do something about this? You can't just let him do this to this kid. He's beating the sh*t out of this kid. You better hope that kid lives, man. You guys are f**king ridiculous. He's barely conscious." KOKH FOX 25@OKCFOXAs jolting as the sky-high rides on the midway can be at the Tulsa State Fair, they pale in comparison to Brandon Alexander's reaction to what was happening at ground level where a teenager was being arrested by a deputy.bit.ly/3rrC4IT21As jolting as the sky-high rides on the midway can be at the Tulsa State Fair, they pale in comparison to Brandon Alexander's reaction to what was happening at ground level where a teenager was being arrested by a deputy.bit.ly/3rrC4IT Tulsa Sheriff's Office is currently reviewing the video.

What led to Janson s assault Teenager and Tulsa County police officers provide two different versions of the incident Tulsa State fair erupted into violence over the weekend when police detained 17-year-old Caleb Janson. The teenager, who was drunk at the time, allegedly resisted arrest, which led to a scuffle between him and the officers. Soon enough, this took a violent turn.

Awesome. https://t.co/wbaLjFm9k5 According to police, they received complaints against Janson's belligerent behavior while waiting in line for a ride. When the cops arrived, the 17-year-old, who is white, began mouthing off and allegedly used racist language toward a black deputy. He also tried to grab his bottle of alcohol and run-off. TCSO Captain Mike Moore told Fox23: "He actually reached up to one of our deputy’s groin and inner thigh area and grabbed a handful of the private parts and inner thigh and squeezed and twisted it. And that caused a response from the deputy that everyone is talking about." Meanwhile, Caleb Janson has denied Tulsa police's allegations. The teen admitted to being drunk but said he was not intoxicated to the point of no control. He apparently also let some people cut him in line, and while that upset the family behind him, he does not know why he was made a victim of such brutality. He told Fox23:"I was sitting there waiting for them to put handcuffs on me, and I ended up getting slammed on the ground. Then I don’t really remember anything when they slammed me because I got knocked out." Caleb Janson's grandparents added that the deputy's actions were "disturbing."
