Alabama Police Officer Suspended After Using Stun Gun on Handcuffed Man

Micah Washington was not resisting when the unnamed officer shocked him; initial fentanyl trafficking charge dropped after further testing.

An Alabama police officer has been placed on administrative leave after a video circulated on social media showing her using a stun gun on a handcuffed man, identified as Micah Washington, who was not resisting.
The incident occurred when Washington and others were changing a tire on the side of the road.
The officer, who has not been named, is seen in the video laughing and using profanity as she shocks Washington, who cries out in pain.
Washington was initially charged with trafficking fentanyl, but the charge was dropped after further testing showed the substance was not fentanyl. He still faces charges of resisting arrest, interference with a government operation, marijuana possession, and being an ex-felon in possession of a firearm.
Protests have erupted in the town of Reform, Alabama, where the incident took place, with community members demanding accountability.
