Fox Sportscaster Booty Tasered At DUI Arrest

From TMZ:

FOX Sportscaster Josh Booty was arrested early this morning for DUI -- and was so uncooperative he had to be tased!

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Booty was taken to the Orange County Jail, where he was booked -- and that's when he went ballistic.

O.C. Sheriff's spokesperson Jim Amormino tell TMZ, "Booty was belligerent and uncooperative." Amormino says his deputies used a taser -- "less than lethal force" -- to contain him.

After being tased, Josh fell to the ground, hitting his head on the floor and cracking it open. He was taken to a hospital where he was stitched up.

Here is a Fox Sports "Booty About Town" video segment in New Orleans.

Here is Josh's wikipedia page with all his high school, college, and briefly NFL stats.

His brother John David Booty is the USC quarterback.

Being tasered while drunk is much more effective at sobering you up than drinking a cup of coffee.

Booty ought to thank those diligent officers.

hummmmmm, i wonder how O'Reilly will handle this?

[hopeless277]

I just don't understand why the police don't taser criminals BEFORE they arrest them. That would save so much time and trouble. It would also make it just that much easier to strip search them. Now that we are all suspected terrorists, and that suspected terrorists are routinely tortured, we should all be tased before being arrested.

Based on that headline I assumed he just got tazered in the buttocks.

[Ramirez]

Sheesh. So did I. Thanks for being the first to fess up.

When a Fix Noise reporter gets tazed in his/her booty, does it necessitate corrective brain surgery?

[javaman]

given that this asshole is a faux sportscaster. I'm sure he will come out and say, "I deserved to be tasered".

Geez, I read the headline and assumed it meant booty (as in personal property) belonging to a Fox sportscaster had been tasered. Curiosity got the better of me and I clicked on the link to see why it was such a big deal that somebody's booty had been tasered. Boy, do I feel silly!

Oh, please don't be, 3, I thought exactly the same thing! "Booty-tasered": sounds like something that certain people would pay for! OMG! ROFLMAO!

I wonder if he said "Don't Taze me, bro!"

[GetoffMylawn]

If Jesus were here today, he would accused of crimes by Fox News, found guilty by Nancy Grace, tased to the ground by a circle of Florida cops, water-boarded by a teenage marine at Guantanamo and slipped a needle by a redneck executioner in Texas.

I suppose that it's still illegal to taz Faux talking head during commercial breaks too. WTF.

[fact finder]

Imagine that. A neo-con propagandist getting upset over a dwi. Don't these cops know that fox employee's are above the law. 1776

[T.Roll]

Good. I think all drunk drivers should be given a mandatory tasing.

[TechnoGirl]

Booty Tasered! How awful!
I hate Fox as much as any real American but tasering someone in the booty is going much too far - even for someone at Fox.

No one should EVER be tasered in the booty. when will we finally stand up to these fascists?

[manndan]

"Booty Tasered", LOL.
