Police: Officer used Taser in fight over soda (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10378923/)
6-year veteran charged with assaulting his partner in Michigan incident

Updated: 7:17 a.m. ET Dec. 8, 2005

HAMTRAMCK, Mich. - A police officer has been charged with using a Taser on his partner during an argument over whether they should stop for a soft drink.

Ronald Dupuis, 32, was charged Wednesday with assault and could face up to three months in jail if convicted. The six-year veteran was fired after the Nov. 3 incident.

Dupuis and partner Prema Graham began arguing after Dupuis demanded she stop their car at a store so he could buy a soft drink, according to a police report.

The two then struggled over the steering wheel, and Dupuis hit her leg with his department-issued Taser, the report said. She was not seriously hurt.

Hamtramck police union lawyer Eugene Bolanowski said he expected Dupuis to hire a private lawyer.

Hamtramck is a city of 23,000 surrounded by Detroit.

I am very disappointed that the reporter did not find out what kind of soda the cop preferred.

Replace "soft drink" with "doughnut" and it flows better.

He needed a tasty beverage to wash his lunch down with.
