A Lying Ex-Felon is Arrested Thanks to a TASER

There are some people who have a hard time learning the lessons that life keeps trying to teach them. They keep finding themselves in trouble and sometimes the police have to get involved. Recently, a man in Reno, Nevada got himself into trouble again and the police had to use a TASER in order to arrest him.

The man had already been convicted of a felony and served his time. But when he got into a fierce argument with family members, he made a terrible mistake. He got a rifle and made a phone call to his mother-in-law and told her that he had shot his father-in-law. Needless to say, the police were called.

When they showed up at the ex-felon's house, he had gone outside with the rifle. They told him to drop it, but he refused to follow their order. Instead, he ran to his garage where he put down the weapon. When it seemed as though he was reaching for the rifle again, the police sprayed him with pepper spray, but it didn't have the effect that they desired.

In order to prevent him from grabbing the gun, they shot him with a 40mm less-than-lethal round. He fell to the ground, stunned. But when the police tried to complete the arrest, they had to use a TASER in order to fully stun him into submission. He was charged with having a firearm while intoxicated, being an ex-felon in possession of a firearm, and with obstructing and resisting an officer.

While the father-in-law hadn't been harmed at all, there was plenty of sadness and fear generated. Hopefully, the man will discover the errors of his ways and mend the wounds he caused in his family. Only time will tell.
