While we can’t ignore the things that Jermaine Lewis did to have the cops show up in the first place, we can’t ignore the possibility that it’s true that he was wrongfully tased in front of his son!
According to the Baltimore County Police report, 36-year-old Jermaine was accused of driving like a maniac — swerving all over the place and even hitting a fire department sign in Reisterstown, MD … without stopping.
According to the report, an officer showed up to Jermaine’s house soon after he had gotten home and attempted to place Jermaine under arrest for hit-and-run — but the ex-NFL star allegedly resisted, so the officer tased him.
The issue is that Jermaine is now claiming that he never resisted arrest, and that the officer drew his weapon and fired the tasing charge at him in front of his crying 4 year old son and his barking dog — while he was sitting on the couch!
If this is true, than that’s terrible and something should be done about it.
But what’s also true is that he went on that joy ride that could have SERIOUSLY injured someone!
Honestly, we just hope the son is okay! (and the dog!)
