Cell phone video of Rehoboth Beach, Del. police officers repeatedly Tasering a man only identified by his screaming wife as "Jeremy" is blowing up on the Internet.
And because it's the most exciting thing to happen in Delaware ever, Rehoboth Beach Mayor Sam Cooper and Police Chief Keith Banks are both involved. The local news even dug up the backstory.
It all started when Jeremy Anderson, 34, got into a verbal altercation with a hotel worker over a room key and the police were called. Anderson, who hails from Pennsylvania, reportedly made a "threatening gesture" toward an officer, according to WUSA9. That's when the situation escalated and Anderson's pregnant wife pulled out her cell phone to record it all.
The video shows officers repeatedly Taser Anderson. One officer is seen kicking Anderson in the head. His pregnant wife stood on the sidelines, yelling and nagging at everyone.
Anderson was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and offensive touching of an officer—the latter offense sounds more interesting than it is. He was jailed for two days. Judging by the sound of his nagging wife's voice, those were the most restful nights he's had in months.
The police chief says an internal investigation is underway.
