Police taser stuffed cougar
"WARREN, Mich. (AP) -- Police responding to a 911 caller reporting a cougar on the prowl in a suburban Detroit park saw what looked like the big cat hiding in a discarded section of cement drain pipe.
So Warren police on Monday shot a Taser electroshock weapon - hitting what turned out to be a large toy cougar right in the stuffing.
The Detroit Free Press reports the toy apparently was placed in the pipe as a hoax. About 10 officers responded to Bates Park. The Macomb Daily of Mount Clemens reports the caller said it was a 150-pound cat.
Warren Police Commissioner William Dwyer says the department is "out there to keep the community safe."
This week's incident took place about a month after a 16-year-old from Detroit died after a Taser was used by Warren police to subdue him."
