Orange County Deputy Stunned By His Own Taser Gun

POSTED: Thursday, May 25, 2006

Sheriff's officials said an Orange County deputy was not seriously injured when he was zapped by his own stun gun during a scuffle with a suspect.

A sheriff's office spokesman said Deputy Joseph Ingraham pulled over a car Wednesday night, but the driver took off running. When Ingraham caught up with him, officials said the deputy used his Taser gun to subdue the unidentified driver. The two wrestled and during the struggle, the driver turned the Taser gun on the deputy.

Sheriff's Sgt. Carlos Torres said the suspect never actually took the Taser gun from the deputy.

The man was arrested on charges of not having a tag assigned to his vehicle, driving without a license and resisting with violence.
