Man in wheelchair Tasered in court after attacking his attorney

Wendall Hollingsworth is accused of holding churchgoers at gunpoint during a robbery. When he was brought in on Tuesday morning in a wheelchair he began kicking his defense attorney, Scott Weisman.

That was when a deputy pulled out his Taser and shot Hollingsworth. In a struggle to restrain Hollingsoroth on deputy was inadvertently shocked by his partner's Taser.



Hollingsworth was immediately removed from the courtroom. A short time later, the defendant came to back the courtroom heavily restrained and wearing a spit guard.

When Weisman and the judge attempted to continue with the proceedings, Hollingsworth interrupted and demanded to be taken back to his cell. He continued with an obscenity-laced rant against his attorney and the judge, and was finally taken to a holding cell.
