This story is almost unbelieveable.
Columbus - [Former] Polk County deputy Joshua Denton received a suspended 30-day jail sentence and a $500 fine for his conviction on one count of assault for shocking Allison Howard with a stun gun after she had been subdued and was already handcuffed to a chair. [LINK]
It's unbelieveable because it's a sign that taser abuse, misuse and overuse is perhaps showing signs of having had its inexplicable "free pass" marked as expired.
Such judgments should be followed up with civil action to drive the point home.
