State Police say a 37-year-old Dover Township man used a Taser device on a trooper trying to take him into custody during an incident Saturday in Red Lion.
Scott Orvis is charged with multiple counts of felony aggravated assault and two counts of disarming a law enforcement officer in the incident ... Police say Orvis started a fight with another man who had dropped off Orvis girlfriend at her house, refusing to let the man leave the driveway. Orvis allegedly punched the man in the face during the confrontation, police allege.
When troopers arrived at the scene, Orvis refused to open the door for them, the complaint states. His girlfriend unlocked the door to allow troopers to enter, but Orvis held it closed from the inside until police eventually forced their way through, according to the complaint.
At that point, Orvis began resisting attempts to take him into custody, according to police. One trooper attempted to use a Taser device to subdue him, but Orvis grabbed the device from the trooper and fired it, hitting the trooper in the shoulder, police allege.
Orvis continued trying to deploy the Taser and almost hit another trooper in the head, according to police. He was eventually taken into custody.

Not what I'd call the "poster boy" for white priv, but he certainly enjoys the perks nonetheless.

(65,592 posts)It looks like bad burn scars, to me.
I've known 2 people in my life that were serious burn victims.
Even after grafts, their skin looked like that.
Both of the people I knew got burned as self-inflicted injuries. Accidents, but self-inflicted.
Another example, in this guy's case, of bad decision making?

So far (about 2 minutes) I've received
