A man received two jolts from a Taser after allegedly refusing to follow officers’ orders Thursday, according to a Shelbyville police report. Eddie Doris Ray allegedly pushed two officers moments earlier.
Ray, 67, of Plum Hill Drive has been charged with two counts of assault on an officer and single counts of resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.
Police were called when Ray refused to leave Pop-A-Top, Madison Street, where he had earlier been barred.
Ray had allegedly pushed customers before officers Dylan Farrar and Bailey Dineen arrived. Both officers were pushed by Ray as he “remained adamant that he was not going to leave,” Farrar said.
Farrar jolted Ray after he allegedly refused repeated orders to hit the ground, then gave a second jolt after Ray refused to give Dineen his hands to be handcuffed. Ray complied with orders at that point, Farrar’s report said.
Medics checked and cleared Ray, police said. He was being held on $16,500 bond Friday.
