Two skaters were threatened with taser by property
manager
Tennessee skateboarders beware of trespassing! Two skaters Jerrod White and Seth Hayhurst, from Murfreesboro were chased from the area they were practicing on by property manager, Nolen Abernathy, with a stun gun.
From a news article, Jerrod White describes what happend;
"He pulls it out and said, 'Let me show you kids something,' and starts clicking it," White said. "After he starts clicking it, he started prodding it towards me, trying to get me. He was aiming it for my chest. He was, like, trying to give me a little scare, I thought."
Apparently the building next door has already had about $170,000 worth of copper wiring stole and Abernathy was just trying to get the men off his property.
"All in the tense of the moment. He actually went for me, and I blocked it with my left hand, and that's where he connected me. You can see the burn on my arm here. I lost a lot of hair," said White.
Abernathy was arrested with two counts of aggravated assault and reckless endangerment charges. Check out the full news story here.
