A 65-year-old man was arrested for using a stun gun on two women at a lake north of Lincoln over the weekend. The incident was reported around 5:30 p.m. Saturday at Wildwood Lake.The women told sheriff's deputies that a man pulled into a camping area and let his six dogs run loose. An Alaskan malamute made a beeline to where a young family was camping."(It) attacked their dog," Diane Renker said. "Bit the father and scared the heck out of the three kids."When the dogs started fighting, people tried to break them up.The dogs went into other campsites, grabbing food and threatening kids.After verbal confrontations, it appeared at one point that the owner of the dogs, Robert Miles, was about to strike a woman. That's when Lily Cebuhar and others got involved."He wasn't taking any control," Cebuhar said. "He was telling us this was a dog park and there was no reason he had to have his dogs on leashes."When Renker jumped in to protect her daughter's friend, she said Miles used a stun gun on her."He hit her with the Taser," Renker said. "He hit me on the wrist with the Taser."They said that Miles at one point dropped his pants and defecated in front of them. "He goes out into the parking lot, drops his pants and takes a poop in front of all of us," Renker said.Miles tried to flee but was blocked by several campers until deputies and the state patrol arrived."He tried to run over a couple of people," Renker said. "He pointed a 9 mm handgun at one of the gentlemen."Sheriff's deputies arrested Miles for two counts of second-degree assault, disturbing the peace, allowing dogs to run at large, public indecency and child abuse, since two children saw the incident unfold."This was pretty bizarre," Sheriff Terry Wagner said. "It's a series of weird events."Both women said they are doing fine after being immobilized with a stun gun.
