The truth to these type of stories is normally somewhere in the middle, but the only time the police should tase someone is if they truly feel they are in some danger.
To do it in front of a child there should be some clear and present danger.
Neither seem the case with Jermaine Lewis here are the details.
According to the Baltimore County Police report, 36-year-old Jermaine was accused of driving like a maniac — swerving all over the place and even hitting a fire department sign in Reisterstown, MD … without stopping.
According to the report, an officer showed up to the former Baltimore Raven‘s house soon after he had gotten home and attempted to place Jermaine under arrest for hit-and-run — but the ex-NFL star allegedly resisted, so the officer tased him.
But now Jermaine is PISSED — telling TMZ, “I never resisted arrest.” Lewis says he was merely sitting on his couch when the officers resorted to using the taser.
What’s worse — Jermaine claims the officer callously whipped out the weapon in front his 4-year-old son … telling us, his son “was very upset crying and my dog was barking.”
The one thing Lewis doesn’t explain is why he was “joy riding” around hitting property. He is told old for that. While the police may have went overboard, they wouldn’t have ever been there if Lewis hadn’t been acting like teenager.
