TASER Helps Arrest Boxer on PCP

It does not matter if you are big, small, strong, weak, famous, or without renown. If you have been doing drugs and you are a threat to others, then you need to be stopped. When police try to stop people that are a threat to themselves and others and they don’t comply, then sometimes the police will use a TASER to force them to comply. That is exactly what a boxer recently discovered.

Chris Henry is a 28 year old boxer from Houston, Texas. He recently got into trouble with the law when he decided to smoke some PCP. After doing the drugs not too long after midnight, he went for a walk in the street. While in the street, he began to yell while walking around in circles. This prompted neighbors to call the police and some of them reported that they had seen a gun.

The police arrived and Henry was still up to no good. He continued to yell, walk in circles, and jump up and down. Police could tell that he was on PCP and his girlfriend confirmed it after talking with them. The officers on the scene tried to verbally calm Henry down, but he wouldn’t listen and became more rowdy.

Believing that he was a threat to himself and others, and also under the suspicion that he may have a gun, an officer used a TASER to stun Henry. The boxer fell to the ground and officers rushed in to put cuffs on him. He continued to struggle as they did so. Police never found a gun.

Some drugs make people do crazy things. PCP has been known to make people violent and believe that they are invincible. Without the TASER, this powerful boxer could have done some damage.
