An Abbotsford man has been charged after he allegedly held a Taser in each hand and charged at a police officer.
Const. Jody Thomas said the incident took place at about 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, when police were called by a person who said the son of a neighbour was being violent towards his parents.
Thomas said an officer arrived at the residence in the Eagle Mountain area, and a man “charged out the door” holding a Taser in each hand.
Thomas didn’t know the details, but the officer was able to arrest the man, who was then discovered to be carrying a third Taser in his back waistline.

He was released from custody on a promise to appear, and is next set to appear in court on May 16.
