The woman demanded the deputy to call his supervisor, which he told her he did.
"You'll never be white," the woman told the deputy.
The deputy, who identifies himself as Latino, told FOX News' Melugin that he used a personal body camera to record the incident because the San Dimas station doesn't have official body cameras yet. LASD told Melugin that the woman filed a harassment complaint against the deputy following the incident.
However, LASD told Melugin that the woman has a history of making false complaints, particularly against deputies. Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva commended the responding deputy for staying calm and professional throughout the interaction, Melugin reports.
