A Thurston County, Wash., deputy Tasered a man twice after catching him having sex on a front lawn, reports the News Tribune.
According to the newspaper, a police deputy responded to a complaint about loud music at about 2 a.m., when he came across a couple having sex on the lawn.
The couple, who were described as highly intoxicated, scrambled for their clothes. The woman screamed and ran away, and the man - 21-year-old Patrick Bergin - reportedly approached the deputy, ignoring his warnings to sit down and provide identification.
The deputy shot him with a Taser, but that didn't stop this victim of coitus interruptus. According to police, Bergin ripped the Taser barbs from his chest, and kept coming towards the cop.
So the deputy shot him again with the Taser, this time in the arm. Bergin was subdued and arrested. He faces a charge of third-degree assault.
James Chamberlain, Thurston County's chief criminal deputy, told the News Tribune that it's very unusual for someone to be able to rip off the barbs from a Taser after being hit with the electrical jolt.
