Dave Herman didn't appear to be aggressive toward police prior to being tased and arrested by Indiana police Sunday night.

Herman's wife Madeleine captured the incident on video and uploaded it on YouTube. The footage shows Herman, a former UFC fighter, approaching the officers and asking for identification. The cops warned Herman that he would get tased if he didn't comply with their demands -- for him to turn around, get on his knees and put his hands on his head.

"Can you please show me your IDs?" Herman can be heard asking. "Who are you?"

The cops identified themselves as police officers. Herman continued asking for identification and he was tased.

"Is this really necessary?" Herman said. "All I did was ask to see ID."

Madeleine said in the video that the incident started when they were having car trouble and put their hazards on while driving down I-69 in Indiana. She told MMAFighting.com on Wednesday that their car had a recurring issue with its alternator and they were seeking civilization in freezing weather with their baby in the car.

"We were just trying to get somewhere that was anywhere, really," she said.

The police car began following them at some point. She said Herman drove for another three or four miles after that to find a gas station. Madeleine said she and Herman did not want "armed strangers" approaching the vehicle, especially with their infant child in the back, so Herman got out of the car to address the officers.

Madeleine told MMAFighting.com that she began running the video on her iPad when one of the officers pulled a gun on Herman.

After apprehending Herman, Madeleine said the officers "held my son and I hostage" in the freezing car with the windows and door open. She said Herman is still being held without bail and has not been arraigned.

The police incident report tells a different tale. The report, posted on the DeKalb County Sheriff's Department Facebook page, says the Hermans' car was going at a high rate of speed without headlights or taillights. When officers attempted to stop them, Herman led them on a pursuit for about three more miles, according to the report.

Once stopped, the report said that Herman "exited his vehicle and approached Officers in an aggressive manner."

"David was given multiple warnings to get on the ground and failed to comply," the report reads. "David had to be tased in order to be taken into custody."

The report seems to have been deleted from Facebook, but mixedmartialarts.com published a copy.

Herman is being charged with three felonies: resisting law enforcement with a vehicle, battery against law enforcement and neglect of a dependent. He's also charged with resisting law enforcement, a misdemeanor. He will be arraigned Wednesday afternoon, Madeline said.

She is asking for help. She and Herman, who last fought for Titan FC, are libertarians and the video was produced by Adam Kokesh, the host of noted libertarian talk show Adam Vs. The Man. Madeleine is a former intern of the show.

"I beg all of my fellow liberty brothers and sisters to reach out to the DeKalb prosecutor's office and demand he be released immediately, that the officers who assaulted him be charged and the people responsible for defaming his name be held accountable," Madeleine said in the video.

She said the video has led to people e-mailing offering assistance and even to pay for lawyer fees.

Madeline said they were driving home to Fort Wayne, Ind., from a friend's house.

"He's clearly not being aggressive," Madeleine said. "The things he's being charged with didn't happen.

"I just hope we can get some of the actual story out. I feel like his name is being run through the mud."
