Former Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Josh Brent, who has worked in the team's scouting department the last few years, was shocked with a Taser stun gun Sunday by police as he was being taken into custody for public intoxication.
Police were called when Brent was observed to be sitting in the grass and talking to himself in a Wendy's parking lot in Coppell, Texas. Upon arrival, police determined Brent was intoxicated and, according to police, he became uncooperative and resisted an officer's attempt to place him in handcuffs. Police said he ignored authorities and was eventually stunned.
