Broward Sheriff's Office investigators are looking into claims of an alleged rough arrest that took place last week in Weston and was caught on camera.
According to an arrest report, deputies were called to the Bonaventure Town Center Club on December 22 after claims of a group smoking marijuana at the building.
Deputies spoke with the club's executive director and later asked four men in their 20s to leave. The group became loud and one of the men called the executive director a "racist" and yelled obscenities at him, officials said.

Deputies arrested Khalil Pace, 22, and charged him with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest while the group was given trespass warnings.
Pace's arrest was caught on cellphone video.
“It just happened so fast," Pace said. "Next thing you know I’m in a chokehold being slammed to the ground and handcuffed. At that point I was just like 'don’t do anything.' If he would take it to this level he would kill me.”

No injuries were reported, but BSO said they are reviewing the arrest "to determine if the force used was consistent with agency training and policy."
“I need the charges removed," said Pace. "He needs to be fired because he obviously lacks self-control as a person who’s put in a position of power.”
