EUGENE, Ore. — A man who got kicked out of a concert in Eugene, Oregon, last fall has filed a complaint against two city police officers, saying they unnecessarily used a stun gun during an incident outside the venue.
Stephen Hedrick of Longview told The Register-Guard newspaper he was on his knees, surrendering, when police fired a Taser at him.
Eugene police, however, say Hedrick refused to obey their repeated commands.
The incident occurred after Hedrick was booted out of a Social Distortion concert for fighting inside the venue.
The 24-year-old pleaded guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct and no contest to a charge of harassment in Eugene Municipal Court. He was sentenced to six days in jail.
