'Pool Patrol Paula' Fired After Allegedly Assaulting Black Teenager

A 38-year-old South Carolina woman was fired from her job after she was recorded harassing a group of black teenagers at a neighborhood pool in Summerville. Skincare company Rodan + Fields told Yahoo! Lifestyle that they viewed the video and police report and fired Stephanie Sebby-Strempel for her actions.

The video, shared on Facebook by a relative of one of the teenagers, captured Stephanie telling a group of black teens to leave the pool. It starts with her slapping the phone of the person recording, asking "how's that feel?" She then slaps the phone again, telling them to "get out." She threatens to call 911 and calls them "punks." Police said that she also directed racial slurs at the teenagers as they were leaving. 

The teens said they were invited to the pool by a friend but were respectful and did not protest when she demanded that they leave.

Police became aware of the video, which has been viewed over one million times, and went to Sebby-Strempel's home the next day to arrest her. When they arrived she assaulted the two deputies. According to WCIV-TV, she threw one of the officers up against the wall, injuring his knee, and bit the other one on the arm hard enough to break the skin. She was taken into custody and was charged with one count of third-degree assault and two counts of assaulting a law enforcement officer.
