Chicago Area Man Charged After Tasering Wife to Settle Bears-Packers Bet
A Chicago-area man, John Grant, 42, has been charged with the use of an electric weapon after tasering his wife three times at a bar.
The man told police his wife had lost a Monday Night Football bet between the Bears and Packers.
The incident took place at Sidelines Tap in Mayville, Wisconsin. Grant bet he could use a taser on his wife if the Bears won.
From NBC Chicago:
Grant's wife claims her husband used the Taser “two times on her buttocks” while the two were in an alley smoking cigarettes outside of the bar.
"Hell ya it hurt," she said, according to police.
The report states the wife claims she did not give consent for anyone to use a Taser, but cell phone footage of the incident shows her "laughing and it seemed apparent that Ms. Grant had consented," the arresting officer wrote in the complaint.
“It takes not only the Packer and Bear rivalry to a new level, it takes the spousal rivalry (to a new level),” Mayville Police Chief Christopher MacNeill told the Chicago Tribune of the incident.
