TASER Stops Idaho Man after He Cut Someone

A TASER was used on Patrick Williams of Moscow, Idaho, who is now being charged with a felony for aggravated assault as well as a misdemeanor for resisting arrest.

It all started when police got a call Monday evening around 6:45 pm about a fight. When police arrived at the house Patrick had left the scene. The witnesses there then told the police that he had gotten into an argument with someone in the home. Witnesses also told police that the argument got out of hand when Patrick started to become violent.

Patrick had slashed at the other man with a knife and cut him several times, mostly on the hands. After speaking with the witnesses, the police went to look for Patrick and found him walking down the street not too far away from the house. Police also found what they believed to be the knife just a little ways from the house where the fight took place.

Police then told Patrick to stop walking and he failed to obey their orders. They then used a TASER to subdue him. Police reported that he also appeared to be intoxicated during the time of the arrest.

There’s no telling what all this man could have done if he wasn’t apprehended. The other man is lucky that he wasn’t injured any more seriously. I like the thought of police using a TASER to subdue somebody because really, if I was in a bad situation and someone hurt me or someone that I love, I wouldn’t want that man to die. I would want to have him taken to jail and be punished for what he did.
