A father tried to use his 13-year-old son as a shield as he was being tased, Texas deputies said. Deputies were called to the Houston home May 9 after a disturbance was reported, the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable’s Office said in a May 12 Facebook post. They found the father inside a residence and he tried to close the door on them, deputies said. Authorities said they got into the home, but the dad refused to listen to commands, so they used a taser to try and detain him.
