LOGANVILLE, Ga. (AP) - The department's internal investigation records show that the officer used the weapon like a toy with tacit approval from two superior officers.
The waiter, 22-year-old Daniel Wilson, spoke publicly about the
encounter last week. The incident led to the arrest of 33-year-old
Cpl. Gary Miles and the resignations of Sgt. Christopher Parry and
Sgt. Joey Parkerson.
Wilson said the restaurant provided police with free food and
all three officers were regulars there.
He said the officers often pointed the red laser from their Taser at him playfully but that Miles zapped him with it in February.
