Father, son charged YouTube Taser

WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) -- The father and son who shocked each other with a Taser gun and posted it on YouTube are charged with illegally possessing an electric weapon.

Police say 22-year-old Paul Crowell of North Prairie took the Taser gun while he sat in an East Troy police squad after his car went into a ditch in Walworth County on New Year's Day.

Court records say the YouTube video showed Crowell and his father, 41-year-old Paul Dupey, taking turned shocking each other.

After East Troy police discovered the Taser was missing, they spotted the video on YouTube within one or two days.

Shouldn't the inventory of a squad car be taken after anyone had access to it? This kid could have been shocking others for goodness sake!

Sounds like father and son have deeper issues than stealing (the taser). Dorks.

They sound very strange. But why was the Taser gun accessible to anyone sitting in the squad car??
