Man Jogs In The Nude In Terror, Cops Abuse him with 50,000 volts

For many months, officers in West Memphis, Arkansas, have received reports about a male jogger working out at the dead of night, in the nude.

On Monday last week, police said they thought they got their man. Fate Patterson, 39, of West Memphis, was arrested after he ran past a police car and failed to stop when asked to. Police chased him and took him down with the use of the controversial 50,000 Volts of nude terrorTaser gun.

The Associated Press reported that Mike Allen, assistant chief of the West Memphis police department, said the man was not mentally ill, Just real nude

Allen did not disclose whether there was a reason for the man to be running without his clothes, and did not comment whether it was absolutely necessary to use a 50,000-volt jolt, nearly 25 times that of an electric chair, to subdue a man who otherwise seemed to pose little threat to anyone.
