BATON ROUGE – A Baton Rouge resident has filed a lawsuit against the City of Baton Rouge and its police department, claiming an officer used a TASER on him without cause while he was in custody.
A former Baton Rouge police officer stun-gunned a suspect who was already in handcuffs and complying with another officer s orders, a new federal lawsuit claims.
A lawsuit filed in federal court late last week accuses a former Baton Rouge police officer of using unnecessary force when he deployed a taser on a man in August.
The incident at the center of the lawsuit is the same one that led to the arrest of former officer Troy Lawrence, Jr., six weeks after the fact.
