Wearing only a ‘man thong,’ suspect fights Utah police officer, gets tased
From KUTV.com: by Adam Forgie
A Utah man is facing a list of charges after he allegedly got into a fight with a Saratoga Springs police officer… while wearing only a “man thong.” Police were dispatched after a call came in Monday night about a male in a “man thong walking down the middle of the road with a sign around his neck.”
The officer claims that Sayer took off running, still wearing just a thong. The officer chased him down and tackled him causing a fight to break out. The officer warned Sayer that he would deploy his Taser if he didn’t stop fighting. Sayer ran, and that’s when police successfully deployed a Taser.
It’s unclear why Sayer was wearing only a “man thong,” or what the sign he had around his neck said.
