A curfew check turned into a wrestling match after a Chicago police officer was tasered in Marquette Park, authorities said.
Deshawn James, 19, of the 6500 block of South California Avenue, was charged with aggravated battery to a police officer, disarming an officer, resisting arrest and obstructing identification.
The officers thought James was violating curfew when they spotted him on the block where he lived around 10:40 p.m. Monday, according to a police statement.
Police said James became combative and somehow took one of the officers’ Tasers during the struggle and stunned one of them.
