An Army officer involved in the investigation into the Fort Jackson sergeant seen in a viral video allegedly accosting and shoving a Black man in a local neighborhood told the public Thursday his team is focused on doing “the right thing the right way.”
Brig. Gen. Milford Beagle Jr., commanding officer of Fort Jackson, S.C., took to Twitter on Thursday to shed some light on the investigation into an alleged incident involving Jonathan Pentland, 42.
“Lots of thoughts, opinions and perspectives out there about our unsettling and disturbing incident,” Beagle tweeted. “My focus and our teams focus going forward is to do the right thing the right way. ‘Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.'”

Records indicated he was no longer in Richland Jail custody as of Thursday. His attorney information could not immediately be obtained.
