A South Carolina police officer has been fired and faces a criminal charge after authorities say he used his department-issued Taser to attack his older brother.
Kershaw County deputies say 35-year-old Brian Adams has been charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature.
Authorities say Adams' brother came to the officer's home in Lugoff to pick up his four kids Tuesday when the brothers started arguing and Adams fired his Taser while the children watched.
Forest Acres Police Chief Gene Sealy says Adams was fired Wednesday after working for the force since 2000.
A number for Adams was not published and a message left at the Kershaw County jail was not immediately returned.
