Man tasered in wild arrest
Wednesday March 2, 2011
PITTSFIELD -- A Dalton man has pleaded not guilty to charges of assaulting two police officers who were responding to a call that he was in a drug-induced frenzy, officials said.
Taylor T. Severin, 18, was Tasered three times by police officers early Sunday as they tried to subdue him at his home on Ruby Terrace.
The incident took place after Severin's mother called police to say that her son had taken multiple "hits" of the hallucinogenic drug LSD, according to the police report.
When officers Deanna Strout and Amy Shaughnessy arrived at the scene at 1:43 a.m., they found Severin sitting in the snow in front of his home clad in a T-shirt, jeans and socks, according to the report. After telling the officers that he was "freaking out," Severin jumped up and ran into a glass door. He then went inside the house and tackled his mother.
He struggled with the three women as they tried to subdue him, attempting to grab Shaughnessy by the throat and pushing Strout into a glass and wooden table, causing her to fall back on the ground, the report said. At one point, Severin was pinned on a couch between the two officers with Strout on the bottom.
"During this period we were giving him verbal commands to stop resisting," Shaughnessy wrote in her report. "He was reaching for both of our firearms and anything he could grab on our duty belts. At this point, I feared for myself and Officer Strout's safety more than I ever had in my
career as a Dalton Police Officer."
Strout was able to roll out from under Severin, and warned him that the officers would use their Tasers if he didn't stop fighting with them. The officers Tasered Severin three times before they could finally subdue him, according to their report.
He was transported to Berkshire Medical Center.
Severin pleaded not guilty on Monday to two counts of assault and battery on a police officer, and single counts of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and assault and battery at his arraignment in Central Berkshire District Court.
District Court Judge Fredric D. Rutberg released Severin on personal recognizance, and continued the case until April 13.
Severin's attorney, Robert D. Sullivan Jr., declined to comment.

I love how the media always reports on the idiots who freak out on a trip and not the millions of people who don't. Fuck the news.

Agreed. Imagine hearing dozens of stories about "so and so ate two tabs, and went for a walk in the woods with his dog. Had a great time, chilled out, enjoyed the simplicities of just walking around. Went home, made a sandwich, smoked a bowl and went to bed. No one was made worse off, and at least 1 person was made better off."

I feel bad....kid probably had no idea what he was in for when he took the "multiple" hits. 18, at home with his mom, probably sitting in his house alone on a friday night or something. He should have known better, and I hate that the media gets such good "ammunition" 
Good luck dumbass!

Why does that have to be the scenario? Why couldn't it be more general?
Not that it could ever happen, though it would be nice to see a story telling the truth about drugs instead of this over-hyped, sensationalist garbage that makes us all look like the guy in this story, or worse.
