Tasers. They're not just for drug addicts, kids on school buses, belligerent college students, or pregnant women anymore.
No, we can now add to that list local government officials. Awesome.
Carl Roland Hayes, a lawyer addressing the Tampa Code Enforcement Board got loud with the group and was Tased as a precaution to calm him down. It had no visible effect, and he was carried away from the meeting by an officer. He slapped the officer as he was being carried out, where a maneuver known as the Drive Stun was used to subdue him enough to carry him out of the meeting without getting bitch-slapped again.
He landed himself in Orient Road Jail, but was released on $4500 bail after getting booked for battering an officer.
This may hurt his case in future Code Board meetings.
Shocking?
Well, yes and no.
