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.

ReplyDeletefuck the police, son
ReplyDeletePeople like this need an ass-whooping on top of the taser. Nothing serious, just a gut-punch for being that stupid.
ReplyDeleteHow about just behave and you won't get tazered or covered in paint
ReplyDeleteWhat an Idiot XD. He should have just soaked himself in water.
ReplyDeleterofl this is funny
ReplyDeleteWow...... well there's another bad idea eliminated...
ReplyDeleteCertainly a interesting idea! Anything to make the polices job harder/annoying
ReplyDeleteDid 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?
ReplyDeleteGood to know for future reference haha..
ReplyDeleteSounds kinda stupid, especially since it didn't work. The intelligence of americans amazes me.
