Police were forced to use a taser on a 25 year old man last night. Officers were called to the Balsam Street area for an unknown problem, when a man swung at one of the officers with a shovel. The suspect fled and was located a short distance away, this time the man produced a BBQ fork and attempted to stab the officer. That's when police tasered the man to the ground. Both officers and the accused are not injured. He's charged with assault with a weapon and making threats to kill.
