Lawsuit Filed in Georgia Scuffle, Taser Shooting

An off-duty police officer and a grocery store are being sued by a Georgia man who claims he was stunned by a Taser and punched for no reason as he left the store, reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The store's manager said that he asked the plaintiff to leave because he was acting suspiciously. The man faces criminal charges of trespassing and obstructing a law enforcement officer. According to the Journal-Constitution, the man's claims that the officer attacked him without provocation were contradicted by the police report and by an eyewitness, who said that the man was behaving combatively. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.
