CHEATHAM COUNTY, TENNESSEE — Disturbing video footages shows the moment last November when Cheatham County deputies held down and tasered a teenage suspect over 40 times. <br /> <br />Jordan Norris, then aged 18, was brought to jail on weapons and drugs charges, but was later charged with simple assault and fined $1,000, the Tennessean reported. Norris was released from jail on bond after being held for two weeks. <br /> <br />Police said that Norris struggled during the arrest and yelled he wanted to kill himself, so they had to tase him to make him compliant. Norris was in a restraint chair for some three hours, the Tennessean reported, citing officials. <br /> <br />Norris's lawsuit says he was tasered over 40 times by the cops. <br /> <br />Local Sheriff Mike Breedlove said he previously hadn't seen the footage in media reports and had requested the D.A. to look into the matter. <br /> <br />Three of the officers seen in the video have been placed on administrative leave.
