Cops Taser Man During Fraudulent Credit Card Arrest

A man was tasered after he and another man were caught using fraudulent cards and then resisted arrest Monday in East Garden City, according to Nassau County Police.

Cops were alerted by Bloomingdale’s security about suspicious credit card activity at 7:25 p.m., officials said. Responders saw Courtney Vickers, 36, of Far Rockaway, and Lashawaun Williams, 2, of Arverne, having several credit cards denied at a register, cops said.

Officers confronted the pair, who fought against arrest, police said. Vickers was eventually tasered but was not injured, cops said.

Vickers and Williams were charged with second-degree possession of a forged instrument. Vickers was also charged with resisting arrest. Both will be arraigned Tuesday at First District Court in Hempstead.
