Police raided the home of Danny Chapman in Saltdean on suspicion of drug offences. During the search cannabis was found at the property. Officers also found a Taser, which Chapman said he had purchased as it was listed as a torch, Brighton Magistrates’ Court heard. When he realised it was a Taser, he did not know what to do with it, and feared being prosecuted if he took it to the police or if they stopped him en-route to a police station. Martina Sherlock said Chapman had purchased the item online three or four years ago. But police found it in his garage during the raid in June last year.
