Daily News | Delaware State University says Ga. sheriffs racially profiled lacrosse team, files civil rights complaint
Delaware State's women's lacrosse team was on the bus driving back from games in Florida and Georgia when they were pulled over and searched.Delaware State University, a historically Black institution, filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division on Wednesday asking it to investigate sheriff’s deputies in Georgia who stopped a bus carrying members of the university’s women’s lacrosse team and searched their belongings without cause.
According to body camera footage obtained by the university, the officer who initially stopped the bus can be heard saying, “Bunch of dang schoolgirls on the bus ... probably some weed.” Two officers also entered the bus to talk to the athletes, in what the university says were attempts to “elicit incriminating statements.”
Liberty County Sheriff William Bowman has defended the deputies, saying that the search was legal and that officers did not know the race of the occupants before pulling them over. He said that the stop was part of the office’s commercial trafficking strategy, and that another bus had been stopped earlier in the day and contraband was located.
