HAMTRAMCK, Mich. (AP) - - (12/08/05)-- Authorities say a Hamtramck police officer used a Taser stun gun on his partner during an argument about stopping for a soft drink.
The suspect was fired after the November third incident and is charged with assault.
Thirty-two-year-old Ronald Dupuis could get up to 93 days in jail if convicted.
Authorities say 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 say the partners struggled over the steering wheel, and Dupuis used the Taser on Graham.
She wasn't seriously hurt.
