Deputy Uses Taser on Fleeing Bicyclist
A Glenn County sheriff’s deputy shot a man with a Taser gun for allegedly riding his bike at night without proper lighting.
According to a sheriff’s spokesman, the bicyclist ignored warnings from the deputy he would use the stun gun, then fled on foot.
One probe struck the bicyclist, Omar Herrada Rivera, 39, but he did not receive a shock.
After being checked out at a hospital, Rivera was held in the county jail on suspicion of resisting arrest, riding a bicycle without proper lighting, riding under the influence of alcohol and using false citizenship government documents.
The sheriff’s spokesman said the deputy’s decision to use the Taser was proper.
Hehe I like Jasper.
Should be a rule, if you tase someone, they get to tase you back later on. Maybe then cops won’t go tasin’ everyone left and right.
