Wyoming man douses himself in paint to avoid Taser



(09-25) 09:38 PDT Cheyenne, Wyo. (AP) --
A Cheyenne man who doused himself with white latex paint in hopes of avoiding a police Taser was hit with the stun gun anyway.
The Taser chase happened Sept. 16, when Cheyenne police went to Brian Mattert's house on a domestic violence call. The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports that when police arrived, Mattert thought they'd use a Taser on him, so he hastily covered himself in paint and told officers that if they shot him with the stun gun, he'd die.
Officers told him the paint wouldn't affect the Taser's capability. According to police, Mattert scuffled with officers and was hit with a Taser twice before officers handcuffed him.
He faces several criminal charges. Police say the officers' uniforms had to be cleaned.

  3. People like this need an ass-whooping on top of the taser. Nothing serious, just a gut-punch for being that stupid.

  8. Did anyone else notice that paint isn't the thing you would douse yourself with? I could understand if he used paint THINNER, or maybe even gas, but paint?
