Group Arrested for Posing as TV News Crew, Tasering Unsuspecting Interviewees
From the What the Fuck Files, police in Cleveland have arrested three people accused of posing as a TV news crew, then tasering their interviewees.
Police made the arrests after two separate incidences were reported last Saturday. 19-year-old Solomon Herbert was allegedly filming while 25-year-old Derek Rowell shocked the group's unsuspecting victims. The third suspect, a juvenile, has not been identified.
As for a motive, Rowell told police they were doing it just for fun. The presence of a camera suggests that the group were intending to upload their prank to YouTube.
They are expected to be charged with felonious assault.
