A Trion man was tased by Chattooga County Sheriff's deputies before being arrested last weekend. According to the report officers responded to the Wright Drive residence of 19-year-old Marcus Stamper and his girlfriend due to a reported domestic incident. Once officers arrived things got a little strange. First, Stamper refused to allow officers to speak with his girlfriend Stephanie Shireman, who was at a neighbors house. When officers went to the the neighbor's home to speak to the woman, Stamper reportedly became enraged, and refused to comply with the officer's commands. He then began to threatn officers and threatened to release his pitt bulldog on them, at one point unleashing the dog and trying to walk the dog towards officers. When Stamper's girlfriend told officers she wanted to leave the home she shared with the man, Stamper reportedly stood at the door of the vehicle and wouldn't let her leave. According to the report, he told her she wasn't going to leave and if she did he would follow her. When told to calm down and step away from the vehicle, Stamper is reported to have started yelling, while taking off his jacket and shirt, and cursing officers. He is reported to have charged officers a second time before he was tased and cuffed. Redmond EMS was dispatched to remove the taser probes from Stamper's back. Then Stamper refused to get inside the patrol vehicle and began kicking the side of the vehicle and kicked the door closed. Once he was inside the vehicle and while being taken to the Chattooga County jail, Stamper, according to the report, banged his head continuously against the bars and plexiglass divider between the front and rear seats. Stamper was charged with obstruction of law enforcement officers.
