Hunt County Sheriff Randy Meeks said his department’s internal investigation into the video which shows a deputy hitting a pregnant woman has been completed.
But the information will not be released until after a separate investigation into the incident is completed by the Texas Rangers.
“We’re not going to release that until we get the Texas Rangers report,” Meeks said.
A widely circulated video depicts a deputy hitting the then-pregnant Deanna Robinson during an arrest on March 4.
Monday’s event offered an opportunity for Robinson to meet with those gathered and to speak with reporters about the incident and the ongoing investigation.
Meeks previously indicated Deputy Joshua Robinson, no relation, is not currently on patrol, after receiving death threats.
The 30-second video shows the deputy striking Robinson as he and a Quinlan Police Department officer attempt to restrain her, while an officer with Child Protective Services (CPS) serves an order to take custody of Robinson’s 18-month-old son.
Meeks has claimed an alternative narrative was that Robinson may have been going for his deputy’s gun, an assertion which Robinson has denied.
Robinson was arrested following the incident and charged with assaulting a public servant, resisting arrest and interfering with child custody. No indictments have been issued in the case.
Meeks said his office’s internal investigation will be presented to the Hunt County District Attorney’s Office, along with the Texas Rangers investigation for consideration of presentation to the grand jury, which is next scheduled to meet on June 26.
“I’ll release it as soon as we get the Texas Rangers report,” Meeks said.
