New surveillance video released from Popeyes body slam incident in Columbia

COLUMBIA, Tenn. (WZTV) — There are new developments in the viral video of a woman who was body slammed by a Popeyes employee in Columbia last year.

We now have brand new surveillance video about what happened in the restaurant that evening.

55-year-old Deborah Staggs suffered six broken ribs among several other injuries.

Now, attorney Rocky McElhaney says the new surveillance videos will help her case, showing the chain has been untruthful in its account.

In one video, McElhaney says you can see another employee fist-bumping accused attacker Derriance Hughes in the back room after the body slam.

In another, you can see Staggs standing at the counter with an employee yelling at her, but McElhaney says the 911 calls -- which happened at the same time -- paint another picture. We can hear the caller say that a woman was drunk, acting a fool, and was yelling, which McElhaney says is not true.

The official police report also shows a statement from an employee who was interviewed at the time, stating that she tripped and that he did not see anyone slam her.
