Naked prowler shot in genitals with Taser by deputies near Fort Myers Beach

FORT MYERS BEACH -- A naked man was accidentally shocked in the genitals by a Taser after he was found breaking windows and asking women to touch him inappropriately, police said.

Jeremy J. Miljour, 26, of Bonita Springs, attempted to run when approached by Lee County sheriff's deputies Saturday. When he ignored requested to stop, Deputy Daniel Hollywood shot Miljour with a Taser.

One of the Taser prongs accidentally hit Miljour's genitals and got stuck, said Cpl. Matt Chitwood.

Officers are taught to aim for the torso, but it was difficult for officers to aim because Miljour was moving, Chitwood said.

"The Taser is relatively accurate, but when someone is moving like that, it doesn't matter if you have a Taser, or a pistol. (Officers) can't aim," Chitwood said.

Miljour was taken to Lee Memorial HealthPark Medical Center, where he was treated before being taken to the Lee County jail. He is charged with indecent exposure, resisting an officer and criminal damage.

So, was it a one-shot stop?

Looks like he got what he wanted, well, not exactly.

He is charged with indecent exposure

I'd say he was really "charged"!



I'm pinch-hitting for Preacherman this morning.

 

[Mongo the Mutterer]

Crispy Cajones??

 

[entropy]

Shocking, absolutely shocking, I say. Watts with Current events, anyhow? I say, sit down, say Ohm, and join the resistance! If the Taser was set to BBQ, they may have to release him for lack of evidence. Or maybe they'd have to anyway.

What do these new cops think they are, anyway? Judge, Jury, and Therapist?!

Law and justice

There is a seeming gulf between Law and Justice; that was temporarily
suspended in this case A hearty "Well Done" for the Deputy!!
I wouldn't admit to being that good a shot either!
Hey maybe Sportsman's Guide still has some "bull Bags" would make a good wall mount, for his den?

It was reported today that Jeremy J Miljour has now petitioned the court for a name change to Jenny J Miljour.

I'll buy that for a dollar.

He was asking to be "touched inappropriately"...can't imagine anything more inappropriate than that!!

 

[NineseveN]

This thread is killing me.

 

[ceetee]

The first thing that came to my mind was the old joke about the wife that caught her husband cheating, and was gonna turn him from a bull into a steer "...with one shot."

The husband begged for another chance, so she said, "Alright... you can set 'em swingin' "...

 

[countertop]

This is simply outrageous behaviour. I see nothing funny about it and if I lived there would demand a full investigation.

A naked man was accidentally shocked in the genitals by a Taser after he was found breaking windows and asking women to touch him inappropriately, police said.

He should have been purposfully shocked.

 

[psyopspec]

I'd say the deputy got him, part and parcel!

 

[foghornl]

Just reading the thread title made me say:
OW! QUIT IT! ! ! !

I suppose that the Taser was one of the 2-probe & wire things, rather that the contact-type? Just the probes would make me stop...

Sorta reminds me of an incident in Memphis back about 1978 or so, before Tasers and 'stun-guns'...

Guy dressed in nothing but a filthy trench coat and scruffy hat was 'flashing' the genteel Old Southern ladies downtown one day. One of them said "May I see that again, please?"

Flasher obliged the Old South Lady, and when he did so, she left him have it real good with the 10-lb "Avon Lady" purse, complete with brass re-inforced corners....

I believe it was very exciting, energizing experience...

Tasered

Ouch! I can only imagine. I whizzed on an electric fence once, so I can kinda empathize...(Didn't take me long to crank the water off.)

Just thought you guys should get to read that again. I wonder if the officer got a promotion.

[M-Rex]

Oh damn.

Now that hurts. This one was a cringer.

 

[GunnySkox]

Gghkghaaargh..

Seriously. If I cringe for much longer, my face is gonna get stuck like this, and how am I gonna shoot like that?

~Gunny

Guh.. Pain..

Deputy Daniel Hollywood to Jeremy J. Miljour: Welcome to the exciting world of electro-sex.

Who says the police don't care about public service no more.

 

[MrKandiyohi]

The officer should patent his male contraceptive device. While Johnny and the twins are probably OK, I'm guessing the swimmers aren't going to win any Olympic medals for a few days.

 

[Preacherman]

Shocking, simply shocking...



That'll teach him not to dangle with the law!

 

[oh blanky]

Why do I live in Florida again?
