Tony Everett, public information officer with the Big Spring Police Department. “There were several intoxicated subjects at the residence.

Everett said the Big Spring man suffered no injuries as a result of being stunned, and was immediately booked into the city jail, where he remained Thursday morning. No other arrests were made as a result of the altercation.

The police officer suffered no injuries as a result of the attack, according to police officials.
