New York, NY (JusticeNewsFlash.com)–The Associated Press (AP) reported a Massachusetts state trooper filed a lawsuit against the stun gun manufacturer Taser International.

The shock bent a surgical screw in his leg.

Taser International Inc., headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, makes the Taser X-26 which court documents, filed by Grafton’s lawyer, claim the stun gun bent a surgical screw in his leg. The Taser X26 was used for demonstration purposes during a law enforcement seminar in 2006 Foley attended. Foley and his legal team are suing for $1 million in damages for pain and suffering which led to a reduction in his pay, law enforcement position and negatively affected his relationship with his wife.
