Jordan Elias Norris was 18 at the time and claims that he was left with 40 pairs of Taser burns during the ordeal.

Legal papers say that one of the deputies acted in a ‘sadistic and malicious nature in repeatedly tasing Plaintiff Norris, such that the force was unreasonable.’



The lawsuit seen by the Tennessean states that he was stunned ‘four times totalling approximately fifty seconds on his stomach and legs’.

He was arrested for drugs and weapons offences in November 2016 in Tennessee when the alleged actions took place.
