“Doug Martin, an officer in Peru, Ind., had been summoned to Miller’s Merry Manor on June 17, 2012, after a nurse called 911 for help in transporting a patient who had hit his roommate, a nurse and a nursing assistant. Martin and his partner, Officer Jeremy Brindle, entered the Alzheimer’s ward to find 64-year-old James Howard sitting in a chair, wearing socks and nothing else. Howard refused the officers’ command to lie on a gurney and advanced toward Brindle, who tried to handcuff Howard. When Brindle lost control of one of Howard’s wrists, Martin yelled ‘Taser’ and deployed it on Howard’s torso. Martin zapped Howard five times for a total of 31 seconds.”
