HAMTRAMCK, Mich. - A police officer has been charged with using a Taser on his partner during an argument over whether they should stop for a soft drink.

Ronald Dupuis, 32, was charged Wednesday with assault and could face up to three months in jail if convicted. The six-year veteran was fired after the Nov. 3 incident.

Dupuis and partner Prema Graham began arguing after Dupuis demanded she stop their car at a store so he could buy a soft drink, according to a police report.

The two then struggled over the steering wheel, and Dupuis hit her leg with his department-issued Taser, the report said. She was not seriously hurt.

Hamtramck police union lawyer Eugene Bolanowski said he expected Dupuis to hire a private lawyer.

Hamtramck is a city of 23,000 surrounded by Detroit.

Inside every cop is a secret criminal, just not a very smart criminal.

I think some of these cretins only join the police force so that they can play with all the man toys.

And lord what little power they have over others. Actually, that isn't entirely true. There are any number of good cops who want to serve society. But there are quite a few idiots who have no right teaching a puppy right and wrong, never mind trying to tell the rest of us about it.
