They tased him right in the damn hospital! No one around even considered he might be having a problem. One of the earlier stories on this points out that it was a hospital security guard that tased him not the actual police. It also turns it wasn’t his first time being taser happy.

Erlanger Hospital officials have identified the security officer who they say used a Taser to stun a patient who later died. His name is Shane Webb. An Erlanger spokesperson says Webb was trained and certified in the proper use of the Taser X26.

NewsChannel 9 has learned that Webb was fired from the Chattanooga Police Department in 2005 after he stunned a suspect in handcuffs.
