HAMTRAMCK, Mich. - An argument between two police officers over whether they should stop for a soft drink ended with the male officer using a Taser stun gun on his female partner, authorities say. A Taser delivers an electrical shock to immobilize its target.

Ronald Dupuis, 32, was charged Wednesday with assault, which carries up to 93 days in jail on conviction. His arraignment was not yet scheduled, Hamtramck police Chief James Doyle told the Detroit Free Press.

The chief fired Dupuis, a six-year employee, about a week after the Nov. 3 incident.

According to a police report, Dupuis and partner Prema Graham began arguing after Dupuis demanded she stop their car at a store so he could buy a soft drink. Graham instead drove back toward the police station.

The two then struggled over the steering wheel, and Dupuis used his department-issued Taser to hit Graham in the leg, the report said. She was not seriously hurt.

Hamtramck police union lawyer Eugene Bolanowski said he expected Dupuis to hire a private lawyer. Bolanowski said he would represent Dupuis should the officer be involved in a grievance.

Dupuis has worked for police departments in Ecorse, Highland Park, Inkster and Southgate and as a Wayne County sheriff's deputy.

Did a search on tazer & taser. If it's a repost...meh. Still funny.

they both just need to hurry up and have sex with each other. It's obvious they have an attraction for each other lol.

Sounds like she grabbed the wheel. If she wasn't a cop, all you cop lovers would have said it was justified when he shot her.

that sounds about right. I ripped off a friends finger nails with a pair of pliers once cause they didn't get me a burrito at taco bell when they were on their way to my apartment.

Why would a non-cop be driving a cop car, with another cop in the car? :confused:

"The two then struggled over the steering wheel". The man was driving, therefore the woman passenger must have grabbed the wheel. If any non-cop passenger (under whatever scenario you come up with) had grabbed the wheel of a car driven by a cop, 90 percent of you ****** would be thrilled if he shot her dead.

Specifically to this case, the taser was probably "after the fact" retribution, rather than defense, or the guy would still have a job. Actually it sounds like neither of them were fit to be officers. <shrug>
