Florida Lawyer Shot With Police Taser
A Florida lawyer was the unfortunate recipient of a taser shot from a police officer after he got visibly upset during a code enforcement meeting.
Carl Roland Hayes,, 53 became upset when addressing the board, and was asked to leave.
He was defending his decision to install aluminum windows he’d installed at his Seminole Heights home, instead of the wood windows that are in accordance with historic preservation codes.
Upon being escorted out of the room, he reportedly slapped a police officer in the face, and was subsequently tasered and handcuffed.
Hayes was charged with 3 counts: battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest with violence and trespassing after warning.
Ironically enough, he is yet to retain a lawyer to defend him.
