DILLON, S.C. -- Two Dillon police officers could face criminal charges after being fired for cursing and beating a suspect at a traffic stop.
A videotape released by authorities Tuesday shows officers Darren Miles and Donnie Grimsley chasing 26-year-old James Anthony Rhodes' car around an apartment parking lot. Rhodes got out of his car after about one minute.
The seven-minute tape shows the officers struggling with Rhodes, at times beating him in the arms and back with a flashlight and stomping him while he was on the ground.
The tape contradicts what the officers wrote in police reports. Prosecutor Jay Hodge said the State Law Enforcement Division is investigating the incident and will turn its findings over to him and he will decide whether to file charges.

COULD. If I assaulted someone, I would face criminal charges.
