Guest guest Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 I'll preface this story with, " No...I wasn't there, but here's what we've heard. " A local police department was searching for a suspect. They learn of his location in a local motel. One of the officers secures a pass-key and all four on duty officers enter the room. The officers search the room and find the suspect hiding in the bathtub. A struggle ensues, and as we all know, motel bathrooms just aren't that big. The suspect doesn't want to come out of the tub and an officer, who shall remain nameless, remembers the new equipment that has been issued...his TASER! Now, picture if you will, the suspect struggling to stay in the tub, 3 officers struggling to remove the suspect from the tub, and the 4th officer leaning on the tub, taser in hand. Ready, Aim.... BZZZZZZTTTTTT....AAAAARRRRGGGGGGGGGG. About this time is when the dispatcher tries to check on everyone, only it takes a few moments before anyone can respond for obvious reasons. There is a moral to this story, as with any other projectile based weapon...CHECK YOUR BACKSTOP, or bathtub as the case may be. Metal bathtubs will conduct electricity as one suspect and four uniformed officers can verify from first-hand experience. My apologies to those involved, but this was just too good not to pass along to a select few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
