Dog Walker Tazed by Police for Not Putting Leash On Fast Enough


California resident Gary Hesterberg was running the trails with his two dogs at Rancho Corral de Tierra in San Mateo County last year when he was stopped by a park ranger for not leashing his terrier (his other dog, a beagle, was on a leash). 

He reportedly tried to put the leash on the dog when he saw her coming, but apparently that wasn’t enough.

When the ranger, Sarah Cavallaro, would not let Hesterberg walk away after a verbal warning, he accused her of unlawful detainment and attempted to leave anyway. 

She tased him, and he collapsed to the ground. Then police came to arrest him, and detained him for eight hours .... http://www.opposingviews.com
