Pocatello Police Use Tasers

(POCATELLO) – Pocatello Police were forced to use tasers in two separate incidents over the weekend. Local News 8 reports that Troy Alexander attempted to run from police on the 900 block of Wingate when officers discovered Alexander had an outstanding warrant. In another incident, Dawson Smith challenged police to a fight outside Club 91 on Yellowstone. Investigators say both incidents could have been avoided if the suspects simply cooperated with police.
