A Florida woman is suing a local sheriff’s deputy who shot her with a stun gun during what was described as “horseplay” at an apartment complex and then tried to apologize for the incident by baking her a cake that said “Sorry I Tased you.”

Stephanie Byron of Pensacola claims that deputy Michael Wohlers showed up at the complex where she worked after his shift in June 2015. Wohlers is alleged to have bullied Byron and the other staff, then shot her in the chest with a stun gun after the two argued over glass of sweet tea.

Byron’s complaint, according to a report in the Pensacola News Journal, alleges that the deputy jumped on her when she fell to the ground, placed his knees on her chest, and forcefully yanked the Taser prods from her flesh.

In the federal lawsuit, Byron is charging Wohlers with using excessive force, violating her civil rights, committing battery and causing her all manner of hardships, including physical injuries, monetary loss, medical expenses, humiliation and mental anguish. She is seeking compensatory damages and attorney’s fees.

According to the lawsuit, Wohlers later attempted to apologize to Byron by making a cake with the phrase, “Sorry I Tased You” written on it.

Wohler’s lawyers have denied the allegations and stated in court filings that, even if Byron’s version of events is truthful, his actions amount to negligence at worst and did not arise out of any bad faith or malicious purpose. Wohlers resigned from the Escambia County Sheriff’s department a month after the incident after he was accused of lying about it to a training officer and filing a false report.

On Monday, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission said it had reviewed the case and placed Wohlers on a one-year probationary period during which he is forbidden from serving at any law enforcement agency in Florida.

I want to do jury duty on that trial.

"Hey! Juror #4! Stop eating the confession! It's evidence! At least save me an end piece and a rose!"

So this cop pulls out his taser gun and starts playing tag with it....clearly he has no concept of weapons.. thus he should not be allowed to carry any.

I'm all for cops.. they do a good job, but this guy should not be one.


I know right? I have three different Tazer models myself and I have never played with them.

In fact the one time I did pull it out, I fully intended on using it if the situation didn't stop and as soon as it did, it was back in the holster.
