Collegedale, Tennessee — The Collegedale Police Department have concluded that an excessive force claim filed against one of its officers is ‘unfounded,” and that Hamilton County District Attorney Neal Pinkston wrongly chose to involve the U.S. Department of Justice in the matter.
On March 10, Officer Evan Driskill used a Taser on Delane Gordon in an arrest during a traffic stop. Gordon and his attorney questioned why he was stopped and why he was tazed.
Collegedale officials say that Officer Driskill asked Gordon multiple times for identification and he refused.
That’s why he was arrested.
They say that the officer only used the Taser after Gordon emphatically refused to comply, many times.
