Shocking Behavior
Christopher Nielsen suffered a seizure behind the wheel of his Ford Expedition and crashed it. And that was just the start of his troubles. When Longmont, Colorado, police and Boulder County sheriff's office officers arrived at the scene, they found Nielsen pacing outside the vehicle, and when he did not respond to their commands, they Tased him, five times. The county settled a claim by Nielsen for $90,000 and agreed to revise its Taser policy.
