However, the man claims it was the officer who harrassed him --and zapped him with a taser gun.
On July 4th, Tom Snyder arrived at a local discount store to do some shopping. However, Snyder has had past troubles with personnel at the store, and when employees spotted him the deputy asked him to leave.
"He asked me to follow him, which I did," Snyder told ABC 4 News. "Then he told me, 'I'm going to teach you some respect.'"
The man says he took offense to the deputy's behavior, and told him so. That's when the officer reportedly reached for his stun gun.
"He started zapping me with that stun gun," Snyder said.
