Man accused of endangering child he dropped when hit with Taser

A Port Arthur man was indicted on a charge of child endangerment after he dropped his toddler son when a police officer stunned him with a Taser.

Christopher Lynn Adams, 25, was stopped Oct. 26 by a police officer for "suspicious activity" in the 2800 block of Woodrow, a neighborhood that had experienced a rash of burglaries recently, according to an investigative summary.

The officer said Adams "became confrontational during the stop," refusing to cooperate and trying to evade detention, his 2-year-old son in his arms.

The officer shocked Adams with a Taser "to gain compliance" after a struggle. Adams "then dropped the child on cement," the summary said.
