#PoolsidePaula
The woman seen assaulting a teenager at a Summerville, South Carolina pool has been arrested and is facing third-degree assault charges. Stephenie Sebby-Strempel, also knows as #PoolsidePaula decided that a young black teen and his friend “didn’t belong” at the pool, and demanded that they leave. As the teens began to leave, #PoolsidePaula started calling them “punks” and slinging racial slurs, according to the Dorchester County police report.
Luckily, the victims recorded the attack and handed the video over to a family member who posted the footage on Facebook where it went viral. In the video, you could see Stephenie Sebby-Strempel hitting and assaulting the person that was recording her, and following them as they left the pool area.
According to Live 5 News, the teen was staying at his friend’s house. The father of his friend explained that they have a family friend that lives in the Reminisce Community, and had invited the teens to go swimming.
After the video went viral, Dorchester County police issued a warrant for the arrest of Stephenie Sebby-Strempel and went to her house to serve her the arrest warrant. Sebby-Strempel allegedly pushed one of the detectives into a wall and bit the other detective, breaking his skin.
#PoolsidePaula survived her altercation with police, and her bond hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, 3:00 pm.
