School resource officer uses stun gun on student

UNION SPRINGS, AL (WSFA) - A Union Springs police officer is coming under fire on social media for using a stun gun on a Bullock County High School student. The incident happened Monday. Another student captured the end of the confrontation with a cell phone.

Once the video was posted to social media, outraged WSFA 12 News viewers began flooding the station’s inbox with requests for information on the situation. Tuesday, details on what happened started to emerge from both sides.

The student in the video is 18-year-old senior Jahmaar Mckinnes. He claims he did nothing wrong and says use of the stun gun was uncalled for. “I told her to leave me alone,” the student said.

“She told me to go to class, the bus hadn’t arrived yet and then she told me to go to the office," Mckinnes explained. “And I asked her why am I going to the office for? I started walking to the bus and she kept following me, and then when we made it over there by the bush...and then she grabbed me. I snatched away from her and then got the papers and throwed them at me. And then she took the taser out and aimed at my head, and then she backed up and shot me in the leg with it.”
