A 23-year-old man needed to be tasered twice after striking an officer before being taken into custody this morning in north Nashville.
Metro Officer Jamie Rice tried to pulled over Walter Lewis at Dickerson Pike and Hart Lane because of expired tags, according to police reports. Lewis, however, didn't want to follow any commands and refused to turn his car off.
Police forced him out of the car with Lewis waving and flailing his arms, so much so that he hit one of the officers in the face, giving that officer a bloody nose. Lewis was tasered twice before he was calm enough to be arrested.
Officers claim that Lewis had a wild look in his eyes, had white foam around the mouth, and had behavior consistent with a person high on a narcotic or drug.
Lewis is here at the CJC this morning on a $27,000 bond on charges of resisting arrest, evading arrest, assault of an officer and DUI.

Tishomingo County voters OK beer, alcohol sales
May 22, 2013 23:38 GMT
IUKA, Miss. (AP) -- Tishomingo County is the latest Mississippi jurisdiction to legalize alcohol sales.
Voters approved the sale of liquor, wine and beer Tuesday, reports the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal (http://bit.ly/13JCcix).
It wasn't clear referendums would pass until affidavit ballots were counted Wednesday.
With more than half Tishomingo County's voters casting ballots, legalizing alcohol passed by 42 votes, while legalizing beer and light wine passed by 73. The county borders Alabama and Tennessee.
Lawmakers legalized liquor at a proposed resort at the county's Bay Springs Lake in 2010, but it wasn't built.
Greene County voters legalized beer sales last year, while Corinth, New Albany and Senatobia have legalized alcohol sales under a 2012 law that allows cities to hold votes.
Mississippi has 13 remaining counties that allow no beer or alcohol sales.
