Police's Stories * USA - Trucker says sheriff’s deputies shocked him with stun gun seven times
Miss,USA -Land Line Magazine, By Charlie Morasch -Feb 23, 2007: -- Larry Works is looking for anyone who may have witnessed a July 29 incident at a Missouri Petro... Works, an OOIDA member from Holladay, TN, told Land Line he was pepper sprayed, shocked multiple times with a Taser gun and arrested for an argument with a sheriff’s deputy on July 29, 2006, in Joplin, MO... However, some facts about that night vary, depending on the source... Works says a disagreement with an off-duty Newton County Sheriff’s deputy needlessly escalated. Ultimately, Works was arrested on charges of first-degree assault on a law enforcement officer... The incident started when Works pulled into the Petro on Interstate 44 in Joplin... The man climbed on to the truck’s driver’s side step and tried to open the door, which Larry had locked. The man then fell to the parking lot, drew his pistol and told Larry to get out of his truck... Newton County Sheriff Ken Copeland told Land Line that Deputy Steve Cathers has since taken a job in Jasper County, MO. Copeland wouldn’t say whether he disciplined Cathers or any other employees in relation to Larry’s arrest... Cathers didn’t return phone messages left by Land Line at the Jasper County Sheriff’s Department... The Sheriff’s department has a policy for use of Taser guns, but Copeland declined to describe or reveal the policy and wouldn’t show Land Line the use of force report. “I don’t want to try a case in a magazine before it gets to court,” Copeland said...
