Background: Full-nelson at Funplex: Did sheriff pull strings?
An argument over a slice of pizza, where a teenager claims a man put him in full-nelson, has prompted a review by the district attorney's office.
According to documents, Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia was on the phone himself with one of his deputies at the scene moments after the incident.

What was supposed to be an afternoon of bowling and pizza at a family entertainment complex ended with what Terrance Earthly described as an assault of his co-worker.

"He grabbed him behind his back and put him in a submission move, something like that," said Terrance.

Although the accused, a reserve deputy with the Fort Bend County Precinct 2 Constable's Office, just got a citation and walked away, questions about what happened in the minutes after the alleged assault on January 16 have been swirling for days.

Why did Lewis Jefferson just get a citation and why did Sheriff Adrian Garcia himself get involved?

The incident report just obtained by Eyewitness News sheds some light.

According to the 17-year-old victim, Jefferson pinned him against the counter and demanded pizza. He was there with a group of 200 from The Fountain of Praise Church and apparently the Funplex had run out.
In his statement, Jefferson doesn't deny grabbing the boy but he called it horseplay.http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news/local&id=7253983
