On Tuesday, at a campaign rally in Hershey, Pennsylvania, a man tried to enter the media section of the event, prompting police to use a Taser to subdue him. The incident occurred during President Trump’s speech at the rally where the man, identified as Richard Lesley, attempted to breach the media area. According to reports, Lesley ignored repeated instructions to leave the area and became combative with law enforcement officers.
Authorities stated that they used a Taser to control and apprehend the man after he refused to comply with their orders. Lesley was promptly arrested and charged with resisting arrest and trespassing. He was later released on bail and is scheduled to appear in court in the near future.
