L’ANSE — The Keweenaw Bay Indian Community Tribal Police used its TX26 stun gun taser for the first time last night after a 24-year-old man attacked a KBIC officer.

Tribal Police and Michigan State Police responded to Whirl-I-Gig Road in L’Anse and found an intoxicated man from Baraga.

The man resisted arrest by the MSP and attacked one of the tribal officers. The tribal police used the taser to subdue him, and he was arrested.

He is being held in the Baraga County Jail until his arraignment.
