Court: Drunk Driver Had To Be Tasered Twice
Appearing in Magistrates Court this morning [Feb 3], a 29 year old man admitted driving whilst impaired on 18th January 2015 and violently resisting arrest.
Dennis Landy admitted driving whilst impaired on 18th January 2015 and violently resisting arrest. Magistrate Khamisi Tokunbo fined Mr. Landy $1,200 and disqualified him from driving all vehicles for eighteen months for the drunk driving offence; and fined him another $200 for the resisting arrest offence.
Prosecutor Ms Nicole Smith told the Magistrate that a man on a motorcycle had drawn the attention of police. Police then stopped Mr Landy around 1:45am that morning. When stopped, Mr Landy told police: “Yeah. I know I’m drunk.” Shortly after, Mr Landy said: “I’m tapped.”
Mr Landy became agitated and hostile. When attempting to handcuff him, police were forced to Tazer Mr Landy. However, Mr Landy continued to act aggressively and charged at the constables, so police tasered Mr Landy a second time. This time Mr Landy was subdued and handcuffed.

Man, those tasers ain’t no joke. I would have complied cause I don’t ever wanna be tased. I hope this man learned his lesson but come on $200 for resisting arrest. Wow who would have thought
Yup, and WHY do they resist arrest? The is NO deterrent. $200 is ridiculous.
You booze, you cruise, you lose…. control your drinking Bermuda please…….
haha,he got a jump start!
Slow learner.
This guy was drunk and the cops had to taser him twice were they Kindergarten cops. Weak cops.
why such a low fine for violently resisting arrest?? – this sends the wrong message
He was on “more” than just booze – if the cops had to Taser him twice – or they “messed-up” the first time!! I have seen 400 lb big men brought to their knees with ONE good Taser shot!!!
