When officers tried to question and then arrest White, they said he began a violent struggle until they finally had to use a Taser on him.

Three of the troopers had to go to the hospital for treatment.

"I saw from my window a guy struggling with them and he didn’t look like he was willing to do anything they wanted him to do and finally they got him down on the ground," said Marion Molchen, a witness.
