Cop Accused of Tasing Man in the Testicles in Front of His Wife and Kids

A former Arizona cop allegedly pulled down a handcuffed man’s pants and tased him in the genitals—all in front of his terrified wife and children.

“Keep fighting and you’re going to get it again! You want it again? Shut your mouth! I’m done fucking around with you!” the Glendale police officer said, with his taser on the man’s penis, according to a lawsuit the injured man later filed.

Now, the retired officer, Matthew Schneider, is facing three charges of aggravated assault after the Arizona Attorney General’s Office filed a direct complaint against him on Thursday, according to KNXV-TV, an ABC affiliate in Phoenix. The charges come four years after Schneider repeatedly tased Johnny Wheatcroft during an assault his lawsuit describes as “unprovoked, unwarranted, unjustified, callous, depraved, vicious, and evil.”

Just before the July 2017 incident occurred, Wheatcroft was heading to a Motel 6 to spend time with family in the front-seat passenger of a vehicle being driven by a family friend. After the vehicle turned into the motel’s parking lot, however, officers approached the car’s occupants and asked for IDs, allegedly because the car didn’t signal properly, according to body camera video.
