Iowa State tight end gets arrested, tased
Iowa State tight end
Pierce Richardson was arrested last weekend, but not
before finding himself on the wrong end of a taser.
An Ames Police officer was responding to a call early Saturday morning about a male that was passed out in a third-floor hallway at the Chamberlain Lofts complex. When the officer showed up on the scene, it was Richardson he found passed out in the hallway. That's when the officer tried to wake Richardson up and things got taser-y.
Once Richardson was awake, the officer told Richardson to stay on the ground, but apparently Richardson wasn't in the state of mind to listen. He instead pushed the officer away, stood up, clenched his fists and approached the officer in "an aggressive manner."
And then came the tazing.
Richardson was found to have a blood-alcohol content of .169 and was arrested and jailed before being released later Saturday morning. He has since been suspended indefinitely from the football team.
