Alberta Police Use Conducted Energy Weapon in Hotel Arrest

0:00It's April 7th, from your city to your ears. This is Canada News Today, powered by AI. Alberta's police watchdog is looking into an injury from an arrest at a downtown Edmonton hotel back on March 21st. A guy seemed too drunk to leave the lobby, even after staff tried helping him out, so they dial 911 just before 3am. Officers rolled up near 100 Avenue and 104 Street, found the man still hanging around, and moved to arrest him for trespassing. When he wouldn't budge, things got physical quick. He fought the handcuffs and kept resisting once they took him down, so one cop hid him with a conducted energy weapon to get. Control. They finally cuffed him, got him outside, but then he complained about arm pain, so paramedics rushed him to Royal Alexandra Hospital for a checkup, though Docs haven't shared injury details yet. Acer T is still digging into it all, so we'll keep an eye out for what comes next on this one.
