Twinsburg Man Struggles With Police and Gets a Real Shock

Police were forced to use a Taser on an 18-year-old Twinsburg man as he kept resisting arrest

A Twinsburg woman awoke with a scare on March 23 when she heard a man hammering on the door of her Van Oaks Drive home at 11 p.m. The man was her 18-year-old nephew Eugene Vasser III, also from Twinsburg.

Vasser was banging on the door and windows trying to get into her house, even though he was not allowed there and was recently kicked out of his home.

When police arrived, they saw Vasser trying to get in and he ignored officers as they asked him to put his hands in the air. After several tries they forced him to the ground where he fought with them. He tried to stand up when cops told him they would use the Taser if he didn't stop struggling.

Vasser seemed to give up, but as they went to cuff him he resisted again, forcing police to use the Taser, then arrest him.

His aunt said Vasser's parents were away on a cruise and he was not allowed at her house, even causing her to change the security code.
