$90,000 Settlement Reached in Washington Taser Incident

A lawsuit from a man who was shot with a Taser after police responded to his co-workers' call for emergency medical assistance has been awarded a settlement, reports the Tacoma News Tribune. The man suffered a seizure while working at an auto parts store. The man declined to allow EMS responders to examine him, and was shot with a Taser when he became belligerent. According an Epilepsy Foundation document cited by the News Tribune, hostile behavior is not uncommon after a person with epilepsy has a seizure. The man was not charged in the incident.
