Man tazed after calling cops on self for parking violation

This is one of those stories that is just too good to be true - pure comedic gold.

Sometimes when things don't go your way you have to take things into your own hands to get things done. Unfortunately for one Connecticut man, things didn't turn out so well when he followed that mantra.



Michael Andes was just a normal citizen that was sick and tired of the local police in Shelton, Connecticut, refusing to enforce local parking laws - so, according to Aol, he decided to park his own car illegally and call it in in order to make a point. That's where things went terribly, terribly wrong.



Andes' plan involved illegally parking his car in a handicapped space and then calling the police over a dozen times starting at 2 A.M. in order to get them to finally respond - and respond they did. Andes was apparently so worked up by the time the police arrived they had to use a stun gun on him after he became combative, telling the police they weren't doing their job.



Andes was eventually arrested and charged with breach of peace, as well as (and this is the best part) given a parking ticket. Andes eventually posted his $1,000 bail to get out of jail and will be due in court on September 6th.
