Footage of a man being tasered and taken down by police at the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport over the weekend surfaced online.
The man, who has been identified as Jerome Toson Jr., was reportedly asked to put out his cigarette after he was seen smoking at a customer service counter. Witnesses say Toson put out his cigarette in a cup of water that he poured on the computers at customer service. Police were then called after Toson allegedly shoved, punched, and pulled the hair of an American Airlines customer service agent.
Once police were on the scene, Toson was seen swinging at one of the officers, and once on the ground, Toson bit an officer and reached for his gun. A stun gun was fired twice on Toson, who was held down by several officers and arrested. Toson was booked into Tarrant County Jail on eight charges, including assault of a peace officer and resisting arrest. His bail is set at $32,500.
