A Grand Junction, Colorado man was arrested last week on suspicion of attempting to coerce his girlfriend into having sex by threatening to zap her with a stun gun. Christopher Morgen Taylor, 30, turned on a Taser three times early Tuesday morning after his girlfriend refused to have sex with him, according to an arrest affidavit. Taylor's girlfriend told police that Taylor turned the Taser on and said to her, "I don't normally do this to anybody, but..." His girlfriend said she told Taylor to turn off the Taser because it was "freaking her out," and she uttered a profanity and left the room, the affidavit said. She told police she was scared her boyfriend was going to use the device on her. Officers with the Grand Junction Police Department located a stun gun on Taylor's bedroom nightstand after Taylor gave officers permission to search the house, the affidavit said. --Originally reported by The Grand Junction Sentinel.

Flint, Michigan's new police chief is saying no to crack. Acting Flint Police Chief David R. Dicks announced that officers will begin arresting people wearing pants or shorts that sag too low, exposing rear ends. The crackdown on buttocks is an apparent response to "significant" complaints from citizens, according to Dicks. Under the chief's orders, any sworn officer who sees "sagging/exposing buttocks" will have probable cause to make an arrest under the city's disorderly person ordinance -- a misdemeanor punishable by a 500-dollar fine and three months in jail. --Originally reported by The Flint Journal.

From now on, Jerome Klein will refuse tea time. Klein, 50, was released from Broward County, Florida jail Friday after a judge ruled a Bolivian tea he drank was the reason he failed a drug test and violated the terms of his bond. The tea, called Mate de Coca, made from the coca plant, was given to Klein by his mother just days before a random drug test in April. He failed the test and was thrown back in jail. Klein has been allowed to stay out of jail while he awaited trial on a burglary charge. In May, prosecutors said Klein's urine contained too high a concentration of cocaine to be caused by drinking tea. But Friday, Theodore Mastos, a former Miami-Dade County judge, convinced Circuit Judge John Murphy the Third that Klein was the unknowing victim of the herbal brew. Klein has no criminal history aside from the burglary allegations and has never been arrested on drug charges, records show. Broward Sheriff's Office lab technicians and state prosecutors had originally agreed with Klein's mother, Shulamit Klein, that the tea was the reason for the skewed drug test results. Shulamit Klein said, "I made the tea. It was my fault. I won't use the tea anymore.'' --Originally reported by The Miami Herald.
