CT police officer’s actions under review after repeated stun gun use on suspect

A Connecticut police officer shocked a shoplifting suspect three times with a stun gun, including when the man was on the ground apologizing, according to police body camera video released Monday as officials announced criminal and internal affairs investigations. Naugatuck Officer Nicholas Kehoss is seen on the video pulling the stun gun trigger for about five seconds during each of the three times.

Day rolls onto his side and tells the officer he is sorry, and Kehoss continues to yell at him to get onto his stomach and pulls the stun gun trigger a second time, the video shows. Kehoss then orders Day to put his hands behind his back, according to the video. Day pleads, ‘No, no, please,’ just before Kehoss pulls the trigger a third time, as the officer warns him that he is going to use the stun gun again, the video shows. Neither Day nor officers were injured in the series of events.
