Deputy stun guns patient at Templeton emergency room
July 5, 2011
Chad Gross
A San Luis Obispo County Sheriff deputy used a stun gun on a 19-year-old intoxicated patient at the Twin Cities Community Hospital Emergency Room on Monday. [KCOY]
Chad Gross, 19, of Camarillo was found unconscious at Lake Nacimiento and transported to the hospital. After he awoke, he started a disturbance and tried to leave.
Hospital staff called for law enforcement, but Gross still refused to cooperate. Deputies said they were forced to use a stun gun on him.
After hospital staff cleared Gross, deputies booked him into San Luis Obispo County Jail on a charge of drunk in public.
Is the Stun Gun really excessive??? What are the other options? Wresle with the drunk guy? Perhaps break an arm cause his is so young, strong, and drunk, he feels no pain as he resists? Do we need that liability as a County? The stun gun works and is proven safe. I just picture you thumbs down bloggers in that ER trying to subdue the drunk guy. LOL!!

Might be a good time to quit drinking and see a priest or minister so he can talk out his personal problems.
I can assure you, if he doesn’t quit drinking now he will have many worse problems with booze in the future. Maybe he should consider using pot.

HA HA, Spirit, I’m trying to figure you out. Is there a Church you attend that praises Jesus and passes the bong? So that’s what the Rapture signifies.

I am really not that much of a pot head. Quit smoking last year after smoking 3-5 packs a day for about 54 years. Haven’t had a puff since May of last year. No bong for me. I don’t even eat it often. MJ is great but I am on a natural high most of the time. God fills me up. I died last year so everyday alive is a happy day.

Being dead isn’t bad either. God does really love us all.
