Jury rules against cop in Taser case
3/7/2006
A federal civil jury ruled that an Orlando police officer used unreasonable force when he arrested and fired a Taser on a young man following a June 2003 traffic stop.
The verdict found that Officer Jonathan Cute violated Dontray Chaney's civil rights by subjecting him to "excessive or unreasonable force" during his arrest. According to reports Chaney was pulled over because of an obstruction blocking his license tag. Reports then say when Chaney questioned why he was being stopped and refused to turn over his driver's license, he was arrested. Witnesses said Cute pulled Chaney out of the car, struggled with him and took him to the ground before firing his Taser stun gun at him twice.
