All he said was “Ouch”

An Englewood officer was called to a local gas station shortly before 10 on a Friday evening on the report of a subject passed out in a vehicle.

The officer found the gentleman slumped over in the driver’s seat of his pickup with a bottle of fine Kentucky sipping whiskey between his legs. The officer removed the keys from the ignition and the bottle from the gentleman’s prostrated body.

Then he tried to wake the gentleman — who did not wish to be aroused. Several times, the officer tried to wake the gentleman, and each time the gentleman either did not respond or tried to push the officer away. The gentleman crossed the line when he swung his arm at the officer.

The officer ordered the gentleman to put his hands behind his back and get out of the pickup. As the officer stepped back from the pickup, the gentleman bull-rushed him. The officer was able to draw and fire his Taser, but the probes did not penetrate the gentleman’s jacket. Several times, the officer used his Taser to stun the man with little or no effect. The only reaction was an occasional “ouch” as the two tussled.

The officer was finally able to get the gentleman to the ground and cuffed. He was taken to the police station where his breath test came back at a breath-taking 0.303 — nearly four times the legal limit of 0.08. The gentleman was cited for resisting arrest and having physical control of a vehicle while intoxicated, and taken to the county lockup.

One could assume the gentleman truly was feeling no pain.
