Anacortes Man Stopped for DUI then Threatened with Taser

According to the Anacortes American, on April 10th, 2010, an Anacortes Police Officer tried to stop a car that passed another vehicle illegally in the 1100 block of 12th Street around 1:46 a.m. The male driver kept going, stopped near an alley, jumped out of the car and ran. An officer chased him on foot and saw him slam into the gate of a wooden fence in the 1500 block of 11th Street, breaking some of the fence boards. The man was eventually ordered to the ground with a Taser pointed at him. 
He smelled of alcohol, had slurred speech, and allegedly said he ran because he was drunk. He said the car he was driving was not his and he was giving the owners a ride home because they had been drinking. He was arrested on charges of DUI and obstruction. He allegedly provided breath samples more than twice the legal limit.

  1. I get that you need a creative title, but why this sensationalist one suggesting some kind of excessive force? Wood fences in Covington WA notwithstanding, the man ran and was legally drunk (likely mentally impaired by alcohol), seems pretty run of the mill.
