Man Douses Himself in Paint to Avoid Taser

Police were called to Brian Mattert‘s house on a domestic abuse case. When the cops arrived, Mattert covered himself with paint because he thought five-oh wouldn’t taser him because of a fear of killing him.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — The Taser chase happened Sept. 16, when Cheyenne police went to Brian Mattert’s house on a domestic violence call. The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports that when police arrived, Mattert thought they’d use a Taser on him, so he hastily covered himself in paint and told officers that if they shot him with the stun gun, he’d die.

But, they tasered his ass anyway… twice…

Officers told him the paint wouldn’t affect the Taser’s capability. According to police, Mattert scuffled with officers and was hit with a Taser twice before officers handcuffed him.

He faces several criminal charges. Police say the officers’ uniforms had to be cleaned.
