Flasher in fanny pack gets tased four times, gets hit with beanbag bullets
Chris Spags Pretty much any story with an exposed man getting tased is sure to be a doozy. But even by those standards, this story of 48 year-old Daniel Reed and his alleged nude, fanny-pack-wearing, knife-wielding, taser-receiving ways is a wacky story.
Reed’s problems began when he flashed both his mail woman and a female neighbor, leading to the police being called.
When an officer came to talk some sense into Reed, Reed pulled down his pants, exposing himself, and suggested that the officer go “d-ck himself.” He then pulled out a three-inch knife from his fanny pack (fortunately after putting Lil’ Danny away) and threatened the officer with it.
The officer tased Reed once in the chest but said he appeared to “feel no effects.” It took three more tasings to get Reed to hit the ground.
Upon hitting the ground, Reed used his knife to cut himself free of the taser wires, got up, and threatened to cut the officer’s eyes out.
Police finally wrangled him after backup came and blasted Reed with beanbag bullets long enough to subdue him. Reed was brought to a nearby hospital for a psychological evaluation and then arraigned for charges of aggravated assault and open lewdness. Presumably also two counts of besmirching the good name of fanny pack users everywhere.
I have to say…if you’re a lunatic and you’re looking to go down, this is the way to do it. Your dong flopping freely at nearby women, fighting off multiple shots from a taser, finally being taken down after an unflinching stream of (beanbag) bullets. It’s like being King Kong, minus the Honda Civic-sized genitals and worship of the natives.
