Taser used during arrest of Fredericksburg man

Deputies used a taser during the arrest of a shoeless man.

Authorities were called to a home on Cynthia’s Place in the England Run neighborhood in Stafford County at 1:41 p.m. Sunday, November 28. They found a woman who had locked herself in a car following an argument with the suspect.

A dispatcher who received a 911 call about the case overheard the two arguing, a sheriff’s spokesman said.

Deputies separated the pair, and the suspect clenched his fists, punched himself, shouted at deputies, a spokesman said. Officers called for backup after they learned of an arrest warrant for the suspect on file in Chesterfield County.

Officers used a taser after the suspect. The suspect resisted arrest, authorities said, and the suspect lost his shoes while trying to evade capture, they added.

Stafford County authorities charged Avery Willis, 21, of Fredericksburg, with obstruction of justice and fleeing from law enforcement. Willis is behind bars at the Rappahannock Regional Jail.
