So, I mean, it was it was a little chaotic. >> According to police, this man looked suspicious, which, as we know, is the gold standard for taser deployment. No confirmed description, no crime in progress, just vibes and electricity. New body camera video shows the moment Northport police tase and arrest the wrong suspect. I'm Northport community correspondent Hunter Walter. I first told you about this last week.
