TASERcam shows non-compliant teen being Tasered

Trey Williams, 18, had forcibly entered a Louisville home on November 2011.

He was believed to be the same man seen earlier carrying a Bible and a pipe and attempting to break the window of a car.

In the video recorded by cameras on the officers' TASERs, the officers stand outside the bathroom as Williams screams from the other side of the door, then once inside, the TASER is fired. Willoughby immediately instructs the suspect — now on the floor — to "stay down" and "stop resisting."


SKIP TO THE 1:50 MARK

Each time the TASER was deployed, Williams tried to stand up again, according to reports. Marcum said as the situation elevated, the struggle moved to the bedroom, and she saw Willoughby in a chokehold as he and Williams fought, so she reacted.

"They were wrestling and Frank said, 'Help me, help me.' and I shot him. Then he still kept Frank in a choke hold and he wouldn't let go and I shot him again. And he wouldn't let Frank go," Marcum said. "He was still fighting Frank and I shot him one more time and then, he just laid there."
