“I then gave Hill several verbal commands to get down on the ground. Hill instead went to his knees and wouldn`t lay all the way down. I then approached Hill with my Taser still drawn and began to push him to the ground,” the responding officer said in an incident report.
“Hill then pushed back at me, I deployed my Taser by shooting a cartridge into his right shoulder and in his right leg. The Taser was not effective at all.”
Police eventually were able to arrest Hill and he was taken to the Coweta County Jail.
