HAMTRAMCK, Mich. -- Authorities said a police officer in Michigan

used a Taser stun gun on his partner during an argument about stopping

for a soft drink.

 

The suspect was fired after the Nov. 3 incident and is charged with

assault.

 

Ronald Dupuis, 32, could get up to 93 days in jail if convicted.

 

Authorities said Dupuis asked partner Prema Graham to stop at a store

for a soft drink, but she refused and instead kept driving back to

headquarters.

 

Authorities said the partners struggled over the steering wheel, and

Dupuis hit Graham's leg with his department-issued Taser gun. She

wasn't seriously hurt.
