PUEBLO, Colo. (AP) — Authorities say an "out of control" 10-year-old child was shocked with a Taser® and arrested by sheriff's deputies in Pueblo West. Capt. Jeff Teschner says that the deputies involved were justified in their use of force. He said Wednesday that the boy was not hurt when deputies took action Monday after arriving at his foster home where he was reportedly destroying property. Authorities say the youth threatened a deputies with a pipe and a stick, and threw a piece of wood at them. The boy was booked into Pueblo Youth Center on suspicion of menacing with a deadly weapon.
