TASER Used Three Times On Man With Gun

The police have several tools that they can use to aid in the arrest of criminal suspects. One of the most used is the TASER stun gun. Most of the time it only takes one zap in order to bring a bad guy down, but sometimes it takes a little more. Some people are so determined in their course of bad decisions that even the pain of an electric shock won't dissuade them.

Recently, a man started arguing very heatedly with a woman outside of a store. The police were called because they were so effectively disturbing the peace. Though it took the police a few minutes to arrive, the argument was as heated as ever. So, the officers tried to separate the two irate and argumentative debaters.

When the police grabbed the man and pulled him back, his response was a little unexpected. He broke away from the officer's grip and started to run for the entrance to the store. This prompted one of the officers to use his TASER in an attempt to stop the man. However, the man was wearing several layers of clothing and the darts didn't make an effective connection. The man pushed on toward the door while trying to discard a pistol from his waistband. Another officer did a drive stun, but again the layers of clothing helped the criminal in his endeavor.

Finally, an officer fired his TASER on the suspect again and the darts stuck in his skin. The suspect dropped to the ground, so the officers moved in to make the arrest. They then discovered that he had three trials pending, including one for the sale of narcotics.
