Police Chief Arrested for Using Taser on His Wife

Stumble ThisA small central Texas town is without a police force because its chief has found himself on the other side of the law.
Leon County Sheriff's deputies say Chief Oly Ivy got into an argument with his wife last weekend and shocked her several times with his Taser.
He was arrested and then fired by city leaders.
Ivy was a one-man police force in the town of Oakwood.
The streets are now being patroled by a city councilman.

I was under the assumption that tasers were to be treated in the same situations as using an actual firearm; it's as deplorable as a police officer pulling a revolver at the dinner table and shooting his spouse.
