TROOPER TASER OVI SUSPECT
TMC NEWS PHOTOS / BRIAN WOODSElyria – An Elyria man was tasered early Saturday morning after trying to run from a State Trooper who had pulled him over.
Lieutenant Travis Hughes of the Ohio State Highway Patrol said that the Trooper was attempting to pull the man over for a traffic violation on Antioch Drive. “Once the Trooper activated his lights and siren the man continued to drive a short distance and then pulled into private driveway. As the Trooper was getting out of his car he saw that the man was also getting out of the truck. He ordered the man to get back into his truck and the man stood there for a second, looked at the Trooper then turned and ran towards the house.”
The Trooper had already pulled out his Taser gun and when the man started to run he deployed the darts striking the man. This of course stopped the man.
LifeCare Paramedics were called to the scene at the request of the man. They treated him and then transported him to Elyria Memorial Hospital for further evaluation.
Hughes said that the man would be charged with OVI and will likely be charged with Failure to Comply or Obstructing.
