Dan NeSmith, Eustis Cop, Fired After Tasering Taylor Davis, 15, For Fun At A Birthday Party

Dan NeSmith, 22, and a rookie police officer with the Eustis Police Department has been fired after Tasering Taylor Davis, 15, at his request during a birthday party where police say adults and teens mingled over alcohol. The entire incident was caught on tape. NeSmith won't face charges for tasering Davis in the back last month. Prosecutors say NeSmith could be charged for hosting a party for minors where alcohol was served, a second-degree misdemeanor in Florida.

Eustis Police Chief Fred Cobb told ABCNews.com, of the 40 to 50 people at NeSmith's home in the town of Leesburg, about 20 of them were younger than 21. The birthday boy was 19. "At some point during the party, the topic of the Taser came up and the 15-year-old expressed his desire to be [Tasered]," Cobb said. "Officer NeSmith opted to show him what it was like." The chief said that firing a Taser inappropriately is not illegal, but it violated department policy.Cobb said NeSmith had been on the job for 13 months.

Here's the question I have to ask, where were the parents? Which parent in their right mind would allow their underage child to attend a party where alcohol was being served? The parents ought to be brought up on charges for allowing this to happen.
