A teen who left jail with over 40 burn marks from being stunned repeatedly by a Taser has filed a federal lawsuit against the sheriff’s office, according to news reports.

Jordan Elias Norris, 19, suit against the Cheatham County Sheriff's Office in Tennessee claims deputies used excessive force when he was arrested in November 2016 on drug and weapon charges, according to the Tennessean.

It claims deputies acted in a "sadistic and malicious nature" when they stunned him repeatedly even when he was in a restraining chair for over three hours, according to the Tennessean.

The sheriff’s office Use of Force Report said that Norris was combative and threatening other inmates when he was removed from his cell. Deputies stunned him with a Taser while taking him to a restraining chair, while confined in the chair and to get him out to bring him to a medical facility, the Tennessean reported.
