Police officer fired for tasering a young boy "just for fun"

Officer Dan Nesmith has now been fired from the force. He admitted to the party after his own taser was used as evidence against him. It turns out every police taser has a computer chip in it and that told Eustis'police chief when it was fired.

It's absolutely shocking that a police officer would host a house party with kids as young as 15 and 16 drinking, but it is jaw-dropping to watch a cop who's been drinking offer to use a taser on a 15-year-old boy in the middle of the big birthday bash.

"You're gonna get five seconds. You will have two marks. These will be signature marks," Nesmith tells the 15-year-old on home video showing the incident.

It was the shot that ended Officer Dan Nesmith's career as a Eustis police officer. "We found out that he was involved, that it was a 15-year-old involved and that there were approximately 50 people at the party and 20 or so were underage," Police Chief Fred Cobb told Eyewitness News in an interview Friday.
