FARGO (KFGO) - A naked man was tased and arrested after fighting with Fargo police.
Officers responded to a call of a man with no clothes running down the sidewalk at 17th Ave. and 42nd St. South. That's where 23-year old Jeb Black was found in a parking lot. He attempted to push an officer and resisted as police attempted to take him into custody. During the struggle, Black assaulted one of the officers by grabbing and squeezing the officer's testicles and then grabbed the officer's pepper spray canister. That's when police tased Black, who continued to grab officers' clothing and limbs.
The officers were eventually able to handcuff and restrain the Fargo man until more officers arrived to assist. Police say a witness told them Black had taken LSD prior to the incident.
Black was arrested for assault on a peace officer and preventing arrest. Other charges, including indecent exposure are pending.
The incident happened around 8 p.m. Thursday.
The officer and Black were both treated and released at a hospital emergency room.
