Man Apprehended by Stun Gun After Throwing Beer Can at Police

A Redding man has been arrested after he was targeted by a police stun gun on Monday night. The man in question is alleged to have thrown what appears to be a large beer can at Redding police officers.

Police were initially called to a residence at around 9 p.m. after they received a report that a man inside the home was refusing to leave. When police arrived on the scene they found a 32-year-old locked outside his house by his friend.

According to reports, the man explained to police that he tried to get back into the house by climbing through a window, but his friend knocked him backward to the ground. Police reports state that both men appeared to be drunk.

While police were talking to the man outside the home, they also watched the man inside the house through the window. At some point, the man inside threw what appeared to be a large beer can at police, shattering the window in the process and injuring an officer.

An officer then employed his stun gun at the man inside the house who instantly fell to the ground. When officers entered the house, the man confronted them, but he was quickly apprehend by the police self defense device and taken away into police custody.

The use of the police device enabled police to gain control of a situation which could have resulted in further harm coming to those on the scene.

Nowadays, it’s not uncommon to see police with a wide range of self defense tools at their disposal. As they don’t know what they are likely to be faced with at a scene, they need to be prepared for all types of situations.

Stun gun reviews show that the use of this tool has been extremely effective when it comes to subduing someone who intends to harm a person. Not only is it easy to use, but because it is a non-lethal self defense device it is safe to use as well.

This is another reason why this unit has become popular among police departments and members of the public. Unlike a traditional firearm, which comes with the risk of lethal harm, a stun gun does not. While it defends the person who is using it, it also protects the person it is targeted against as the effects of it are only temporary, but long enough for police to arrest their suspect without further incident.
