A rowdy drunk golf fan was tasered over the weekend at the Players for heckling the golfers at the 11th hole. Travis Parmelee, of Jacksonville, was charged with disorderly intoxication and resisting arrest without violence, said St. Johns County Sheriff's Office Capt. Dave Messenger.  Parmelee pulled away as officers tried to put him into a golf cart, Messenger said, prompting one to touch him with a stun gun. Messenger said it was clear Parmelee had been drinking.

The YouTube clip below is an audio describing the incident which indicates that Travis was heckling Tiger Woods about his recent adultery. I have also included a source story which explains the event in more detail. I wish the NHL would get on board and bring out the tasers for Penguins and Flyer's road games. A boy can dream.

Wait that should read that he was on fire, thanks to the cops of Lancaster, OH. Seems Daniel Wood (who looks fabulous in his photo btw) was just having a "me" night out by inhaling some aerosol cans, huffing some gas fumes and running around in traffic. Pretty harmless fun.

After resisting arrest the cops had enough and tasered him. Only problem is that you shouldn't taser people that have been in contact with gas. It's right there in the instructions book. Daniel caiught on fire and the cops had to put him out and take him to the hospital for burns.

The kicker? From the orginal article it sounds like it was their first time out with the tasers. Not a good record. Maybe they should just back to the old way of dealing with him. Daniel has over 50 charges so it's not like he isn't known.
