News Nearby: Alcohol, Ambien and Cops With Tasers Do Not Mix
Officers were attempting to gain control of an "increasingly agitated and enraged" man whose blood alcohol level was later determined to be four times the legal limit.

Paramedics called to assess an unconscious patient soon found themselves in a situation requiring police assistance.
Medical personnel were dispatched to the 2600 block of Dacula Ridge Drive in Dacula on Nov. 9 to assist the allegedly intoxicated man. Paramedics requested police respond after the male refused to cooperate and became belligerent.
According to the report, personnel at the scene tried more than a dozen times to help the man, later identified as Anthony Long, age 36, understand what was happening. Long, the report stated, only became further agitated and enraged.
"He got out of bed and his face became red and he started yelling at everyone," the officer noted. "His rage turned into him making statements of 'Take me to jail then. Let's go.' when no such actions had been mentioned, insinuated or threatened."
After Long reportedly broke some glass candle containers and took a fighting stance, one of the officers drew his taser and trained it on Long. At that point, Long "started his attacking motions" and moved toward a second officer. Upon hearing the officer with the taser trying to get someone to move out of the way, the second officer became uncertain as to whether or not the other officer still had a clear shot at Long.
