Frisky Worcester, MA Gentleman In Market, Dies After Being Hit With Stun Gun By Police



Wilmer Delgado-Soba, 38

[From article]
Police said they were called to the grocery store on May Street yesterday just after 12:30 p.m. on a complaint of a man “tearing up the store” because he was asked to leave because he was only wearing a pair of shorts.
The man later identified as Wilmer Delgado-Soba, 38, smashed glass, ripped items off shelves, lifted a shopping cart over his head and then stripped off his shorts and “attempted to pour laundry detergent on them,” police said. They said he became violent when they tried to remove him from the store.
“One of the officers present possessed a departmental issued taser. The man was given several verbal warnings that the officer would deploy his taser if he continued with his violent outburst,” police said in a statement. “The taser appeared to have no effect on the man as he ran to the opposite side of the store. Shortly after the deployment the male appeared to have calmed down and the officers were able to subdue him.”
