A Gordon Police officer was suspended after he accidently stunned someone with his taser.

Police Chief Mike Hall says officer Andy Hester was at the Front Porch restaurant last week when he held up his taser to activate it.

Hall says Hester removed the cartridge, and that's when it accidently hit a restaurant employee's arm.

He says it was a "dry stun" and did not actually tase the woman.

Hall says Hester should not have had the taser out in the first place, and was suspended without pay for three days in connection with the incident.
