Man tasered...

by News Department on 06/09/15

A West Penn Township man was tasered multiple times by police after allegedly lighting his barn on fire Sunday.


 Emergency personnel were dispatched around 11:50 AM to 85 Lumber Lane for a barn fire with possible entrapment. 

Firefighters said they arrived to see smoke coming from the barn and a shirtless dirt-covered man with a torch. They added that the man, who was also bleeding, was acting strangely and even attempted to gain access to a responding firefighter’s vehicle.

 A neighbor said that despite being tasered 3 times by police, the man, identified as Brad Comisac, remained “uncontrollable”. 

He was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment and evaluation and the investigation into the incident continues.
