Taser Success



TIMOTHY MAXEY WAS ARRESTED BY DARRYL PEARSON AND CLAUDE MAGLOIRE ON 1-14-08. HE HAD SEVERAL FELONY AND MISDEMEANOR WARRANTS FOR HIS ARREST. TIMOTHY WAS A PASSENGER IN A CAR. HIS BROTHER WAS DRIVING. AFTER REALIZING THEY WERE BEING TAILED, THE CAR PULLED INTO A MOTEL PARKING LOT, WHERE TIMOTHY BOLTED FROM THE CAR, AND TRIED TO GO OVER A 7 FOOT FENCE. WHAT HE DIDN'T KNOW, IS THAT THE LAW HAD ALREADY BEEN CALLED, AND THEY WERE CLOSING IN ON HIM AS WELL. HE MADE IT OVER THE FENCE, AS CLAUDE, AND OTHER OFFICERS, WERE HOT ON HIS TAIL. BUT TIMOTHY DID NOT GET FAR. CLAUDE SHOT HIM THROUGH THE CHAIN LINK FENCE WITH A TASER, AND DOWN HE WENT. THE OFFICERS CUFFED HIM, AND CHECKED A SMALL BACK PACK THAT LAY ON THE GROUND BESIDE HIM. IN THE BAG WAS SEVERAL BAGS OF MARIJUANA; ENOUGH TO CHARGE HIM WITH FELONY DRUG POSSESSION. HE WAS TAKEN TO THE E.M.S. THAT ARRIVED ON THE SCENE. HE WAS SUBSEQUENTLY TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL, TO HAVE THE TASER BARB SURGICALLY REMOVED FROM HIS BACK. IT WAS AS "ELECTRIFYING" FOR US, AS IT WAS FOR HIM.
