Fla. Police Say Tasering Jaywalker was by the Book

Officers can be heard in the video repeatedly asking jaywalker to provide identification


ALYSSA NEWCOMB, ABC news | Thursday, July 12, 2012

Florida police said they followed procedure when they Tasered accused jaywalker Zikomo Peurifoy three times when he refused to provide identification after police stopped him for allegedly jaywalking.

A video of the altercation taken by Peurifoy's friend Noelle Price, who was arrested along with him, and which Peurifoy posted to his Youtube account, may now be shown to officers as an example of how to properly handle an uncooperative suspect, said Capt. David Del Rosso, of the Casselberry Florida Police Department.
