MESA, AZ — A man was subdued with a Taser after approaching Arizona Department of Public Safety troopers at a crash scene in Mesa.
The incident occurred near Loop 202 Red Mountain and Mesa Drive Thursday morning.
DPS says troopers were investigating a single vehicle that had crashed into a wall when they realized the vehicle was unoccupied and reported stolen out of Phoenix.
A man reportedly approached the troopers from the Mesa Drive overpass, acting “erratic” and fighting with troopers. He was placed in handcuffs but took off running.
Troopers used a Taser to take the man into custody before he was taken to a hospital for treatment.
DPS says the man gave them multiple different names and will be booked into jail on multiple charges including forgery, trespassing, and resisting arrest.
