The Waupaca County Sheriff's Department says an officer who used a stun gun on an 84-year-old man acted within department policy and procedure.
The department says the man, who is a resident of the Wisconsin Veterans Home in King, was suicidal and became combative with the officer last Monday.
After the officer issued several warnings to comply and warned about the Taser, the officer stunned the man, authorities say.
The man was taken away by ambulance for treatment. We were told last week he was doing fine.
