81-Year-Old Man Tased 3 Times During Arrest
STOCKTON (CBS13) ―
An 81-year-old man tased during his arrest by a Stockton CHP officer says he may take legal action.
Victor Schiaffini says he is considering filing an excessive use of force complaint.
Schiaffini walks with a cane, has no use of his left arm after suffering six strokes, and takes several prescription medications daily.
The CHP says he attacked an officer with a deadly weapon, his cane.
Schiaffini was pushed to the ground and tased three times during his arrest.
"That was the worst whoopin' I've ever taken in my life," Schiafiini told CBS13.
Schiaffini spent three days in San Joaquin County Jail following his arrest in July.
The District Attorney reduced Schiaffini's charges to an infraction and he pleaded guilty.
