Police: Officer Zaps Partner After Soda Dispute

POSTED: 4:19 am PST December 8, 2005

HAMTRAMCK, Mich. -- Authorities said a police officer in Michigan used a Taser stun gun on his partner during an argument about stopping for a soft drink.

The suspect was fired after the Nov. 3 incident and is charged with assault.

Ronald Dupuis, 32, could get up to 93 days in jail if convicted.

Authorities said Dupuis asked partner Prema Graham to stop at a store for a soft drink, but she refused and instead kept driving back to headquarters.

Authorities said the partners struggled over the steering wheel, and Dupuis hit Graham's leg with his department-issued Taser gun. She wasn't seriously hurt.

1. That is too stupid!

His poor partner!

And don't tell me they don't have a soda machine back at the headquarters!

2. Shit, they've got a donut machine in the back seat

:shrug:

[THUNDER HANDS]

3. the worst part of the story

the soft drink in question was a Dr. Pepper.

I could see tazering someone over a cherry coke, or an A&W root beer, though.

5. Or...an A&W Vanilla Cream Soda. Those are great!

7. I could SO see Dangle giving Jones a zap!

Or maybe Jones giving Garcia a zap. Or an all-out zap frenzy between all of the department members.

I love Reno 911, it's one of my favorite TV shows!
