Police pepper sprayed then Tasered a 26-year-old man before they were able to arrest him after being called to a Whangarei house.
Officers went to a Raumanga home about 10pm on Monday after reports of a domestic incident. The officers allege that when they arrived at the house a man was acting aggressively.
Officers used pepper spray and when that was ineffective a Taser was deployed. The man will appear in the Whangarei District Court on two charges of assaulting police and a charge of wilful damage. The officers were not injured.
