Senior citizen Bud Grose was chased and tasered -- five different times -- by two Wyoming police officers on August 1. The investigation has just concluded with the firing of the two officers.
The small town of Glenrock, Wyoming was shocked and horrified after one of its residents was chased and tasered by police during an annual celebration of community arts and life this past summer. It was nearing the end of the Deer Creek Days annual parade held on Aug. 1 when two officers chased and tasered senior citizen, Bud Grose. Grose was driving an antique tractor in the parade, when one of the officers, Michael Kavenius, issued Grose with an order.
When Grose did not comply, there was a short chase by the officers and Grose was subsequently tasered five times by Kavenius. The other officer on duty, Paul Brown, had also engaged in the chase.
