Elliot Lake man tasered after causing disturbance

A taser had to be used by Elliot Lake OPP following a disturbance by a local man.

OPP Constable Phil Young says police were called out Sunday morning around 5:00 am to a Baily Lane residence where a man had been yelling and carrying on for over two hours.

He says the man appeared to be intoxicated and was asked to go back in his residence, but would not cooperate.

Young says while trying to take him into custody, he resisted, so he was tasered to carry out the arrest.
