ROCKLAND (AP) – Prosecutors say no charges will be brought against those involved in using a Taser on a Knox County deputy during a bachelor party.
Maine’s attorney general and the county district attorney launched an investigation after video surfaced of the incident last Labor Day weekend in which a deputy was shocked with a Taser before being hogtied and paraded around town in the back of a pickup.
On the video, the groom-to-be drops to the ground after being Tasered. Then the other men bind him and cover him with oil and feathers.
The Knox County sheriff is still reviewing the incident. A Lincoln County deputy has been disciplined for lending the Taser that was used at the party.
