Man accused of stunning security guard arrested

FORT WAYNE, Ind. — A Fort Wayne man who allegedly used a stun gun last week to evade a grocery store’s security guard after robbery ended up being stunned himself by police when he struggled with an officer who arrested him.

The Journal Gazette (http://bit.ly/x08jfy) reports 36-year-old Billye D. Gaulden was arrested Monday. Police say an officer who chased down and tackled Gaulden had to use his Taser gun on him and punch Gaulden to subdue him.

Gaulden faces robbery, unlawful use of a stun gun and resisting law enforcement charges. He remained jailed Wednesday on a $20,000 bond.

Police say Gaulden used a stun device to jolt a security guard at a Fort Wayne Kroger store last week after he and a woman stole items from the store. The woman remains at large.
