"That is the question UHP internal investigators hope to answer after Trooper John Gardner - a 14-year UHP veteran - zapped Vernal resident Jared Massey with the device for refusing to sign a speeding ticket or submit to being arrested during a traffic stop about 10 a.m. on Sept. 14.

“It must have seemed apparent to the reporter that Massey was being ‘arrested’.”
The reporter wasn’t there, is not an authority, and as a reporter has less credibility than a 2nd grader.
