Two city agencies are investigating allegations that a San Francisco sheriff’s deputy started a physical fight last Friday after telling an inmate: “You’re gonna be my bitch.”

The sheriff’s department said the deputy has been reassigned. “Upon learning of the alleged misconduct, Sheriff Miyamoto took immediate action to remove the deputy from inmate contact,” said Tara Moriarty, the sheriff’s spokesperson. “Excessive force will not be tolerated.”

The case is under investigation by the Sheriff’s Office and the Department of Police Accountability. The outcome of the investigation, Moriarty said, will determine next steps.

“Any violation — administrative or criminal — will have consequences,” Moriarty added. “Any abusive authority is a serious breach of public trust.”
