DOUGLAS, GA. (AP) -- The Georgia State Patrol says it will do an internal investigation into what led police to use a stun gun on a man later discovered to be a state trooper.
The incident happened when Coffee County Sheriffs office deputies responded to a request to help break up several fights involving over 100 people in the Evergreen Avenue area.
Authorities allege Clyde Anthony, an off-duty state trooper, pulled up, used obscene language and even pushed a deputy.
Officers say Anthony failed to identify himself as a trooper to officers until after he was shocked.
Anthony was taken to the Coffee county jail and written a citation for disorderly conduct and released.
Officials with the Georgia State Patrol say he is still working his normal shift.
