HISTORICAL FACTS: Security guard arrested after firing stun gun into mans face at point blank range - Caught on Camera

A security guard who allegedly shot a man in the face with a stun gun at point-blank range at a California bar has been arrested.

Footage appears to show the guard pulling out the device and firing it at the shirtless individual, sending the man to the ground in pain.

A later clip shows the security guard then being led away in handcuffs by police officers.

“The investigation determined that during the incident, a security guard allegedly deployed a stun gun during the altercation. The adult male was evaluated by the Carlsbad Fire Department and transported to a local hospital for treatment,” the Carlsbad Police Department told SanDiegoVille.

The force said that David Marquez, 42, of San Marcos, was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and assault with a stun gun. An investigation is ongoing.
