An Imperial Valley water agency director has been arrested after he was allegedly caught on video beating his stepson over a game of catch.

The video shows a man playing a game of catch with his young stepson. The boy drops the ball, and that's when the man, identified by authorities as Anthony Sanchez, begins whipping him with a belt.

Neighbor Oscar Lopez shot the video Wednesday morning from inside his home. After a minute, Lopez can be heard on the tape telling Sanchez to stop.
