Police Officer in DUI Case Seeking $500,000 for Damages

A police officer who was accused of DUI in Gilbert, Arizona is now seeking $500,000 in damages from the town as he claims that police there used excessive force in firing a Taser to incapacitate him before the arrest. According to reports, Seth Samuel Castillo was found "slumped over" behind the wheel and blocking an intersection. When an officer ordered him out of the vehicle with his hands up, Castillo reportedly dropped his hands. At this time the officer thought he might draw a weapon and Tasered him in the back.
