Police use taser on combative man

STOCKTON -- Officers responding to reports of a disturbance involving 20 men and women in the 8300 block of Diana Marie Drive around 10:15 p.m. Sunday found a man believed to be intoxicated in the midst of it.

He was uncooperative and, when they tried to detain him, became combative, police said. They used a taser.

After they arrested him, his sister ran up to an officer and pushed him, police said. They used a taser on her, too.

As she was being arrested, her brother kicked the windows of a patrol car, police said, and they used a restraint on him and took him to a hospital as a precaution before taking him to the jail.

Police arrested Willie Brown, 37, and Shante Braggs, 38, on suspicion of resisting arrest, battern on an officer and being drunk in public.
