Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
HOUSTON, Nov. 15 (UPI) -- Texans lineman Fred Weary Jr. was subdued by a Houston police officer with a Taser stun gun for allegedly resisting arrest and threatening the officer.
The offensive lineman was arrested on a misdemeanor charge, the Houston Chronicle reported Wednesday.
Police spokesman John Cannon said Weary was stopped by a two-officer unit at about 1 p.m. Tuesday after an improper lane change. He said the officers noticed Weary's front license plate was missing and the player was acting suspiciously.
Cannon said Weary refused multiple requests for his driver's license and was asked by the officers to step out of the car. He said the player refused to put his hands on the vehicle and "pushed the officer's hands away" when one of the officers attempted to put handcuffs on him.
Weary then started moving towards the officer, who used her Taser on him.
