Dont Tase Me Bro! Dont Tase Me!

A man that drove aggressively on the I-15 freeway wound up being shot with a taser by a Nevada highway patrol trooper.

Eyewitnesses said the man was swerving in and out of traffic on the freeway and hit another vehicle.

The man finally got out of his car at the Charleston/I-15 off-ramp.

Eyewitnesses say he was screaming at people around him and even physically attacked one of them.

Things escalated when the highway patrol showed up.

People who work nearby said a NHP trooper was trying to stop a man they said was acting wild and screaming. The entire incident was caught on traffic cam.

The man was pacing back and forth yelling at the trooper who kept telling him to stop. Finally, the man appears to taunt the trooper and takes off his hat and shirt.

At that point the trooper, who still had no backup, shot the man with a taser, causing him to fall face first in to the street. Eyewitnesses say they thought the man was over agitated and seemed to be intoxicated.

“Drugs. That’s what it looks like because the guy — he never stopped screaming after he came too.

After the man was hit by the Taser, the trooper was able to put him into handcuffs.

Eyewitnesses say once the shock wore off, the man continued screaming.

NHP said there is no indication in the man’s vehicle that he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, but they will be looking into that possibility.

Nevada highway patrol says that the trooper acted accordingly and that are happy to see that non-lethal force was able to bring this situation to end — and that it did not escalate to the point where someone’s life was put in danger.
