Airmen from Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, security forces used a Taser on an 81-year-old driver they say became belligerent during an Oct. 28 traffic stop.
Glen M. Wilcox of Fairbanks, an Episcopalian priest, says he was roughed up by four airmen. Wilcox fled the scene in his car when the airmen tried to give him a speeding ticket. An Eielson spokesman said Wilcox later resisted arrest and assaulted the airmen, who responded with “a minimum use of force.”
The airmen will not be disciplined, the spokesman said.
“If I were their base commander, I would put them in jail,” Wilcox told the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. “Four young men in their 20s do not need to Taser and handcuff an 81-year-old.”
