SCHENECTADY -- Police zapped a Brooklyn man with a stun gun Monday night when he became unruly after leading them on a short foot chase along a city street, according to a city police spokesman.
Lt.
Mark McCracken said
Miguel Jackson, 23, has been charged with obstruction of governmental administration, resisting arrest, both misdemeanors and unlawful possession of marijuana, a violation.
The police spokesman said Jackson was a passenger in a vehicle that patrol officers had pulled over on Albany Street.
While the officers were questioning the driver outside the vehicle, Jackson took off on foot and was nabbed a few blocks away at Albany and Kelton Avenue in the Central State Street section, McCracken said. He said the officers deployed the Taser when Jackson became belligerent with them as they tried to arrest him.
The other man, 24-year-old Akai Gurley, also of Brooklyn, who was behind the wheel, has been charged with aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle. The pair were released pending a court appearance.
