Carlos Miller reports
Police in Virginia entered a backyard party filled with children and ended up Tasering a 55-year-old grandfather as well as a pregnant mother.
The man, a family counselor and Bible study teacher, was arrested for public intoxication even though he was in his own backyard the entire time.
Public intoxication in the privacy of his own home.
They were celebrating the baptism of two little boys. The mother of the boys tried helping the man when he fell to the ground after being Tased, but she was Tased herself.
Prince William County Police charged her with assault on a police officer.
Part of the interaction between Rodriguez Sr. and the cops was caught on a home video camera. It doesn't show any combativeness from his part.
Oh yeah, there's one other thing. The family is Hispanic and some didn't speak English. The woman who was arrested, the mother of the kids and the mother of one on its way, is apparently facing deportation because she is being detained by immigration officials.
