Police: Man Zaps Grandma-In-Law With Taser

POSTED: 2:45 pm EST January 27, 2007

NORTH BONNEVILLE, Wash. -- A Washington man has been released from jail, but he doesn't have his stun gun anymore.

Aaron de Bruyn's Taser was confiscated after police arrested him for allegedly using it on his 79-year-old grandmother-in-law.

De Bruyn admitted that he shocked her on her shoulder but said he did it because she refused to leave his house. The two had gotten into an argument after she accused him of child abuse for swatting his baby son on his diapered bottom. He said he did that to keep the boy from grabbing some electrical wires.

The grandmother was otherwise uninjured, but de Bruyn spent a night in jail and has been cited with fourth-degree domestic violence.

And he said if he had it to do over again, he wouldn't.

Hmmm, Mother in Law I can understand, but Grandma is off limits...

[cripplecreek]

I'm shocked.

[farlander]

Dunno... she sounds like one of those looney liberal types that don't believe in punishment for children and that we should 'reason' with them instead.

[ShadowDancer]

I'd ramp up the amps a lot higher than that for my mother in law.

[Lazamataz]

I killed my Grandmother-in-law.

In Reno.

Just to watch her die.

And when I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry.

[Frank_2001]

He should have called the cops and let THEM zap her;)

[Abathar]

Zapping my MIL would be like eating Lay's chips, no way I could stop at just one...

[ShadowDancer]

ROTFLMAO

[word_warrior_bob]

He swats the baby from going near electrical wires???? And he has a stun gun??????????? And he used it on Grandma???????????????????????????????????

I wouldn't swat my puppy from going near or trying to chew electrical wires, I would take him out of harms way and say "NO"

Somebody better keep an eye on that baby.

[zbigreddogz]

Great Johnny Cash reference.

Anyhow, from what I saw on TV, she had it coming. The man's wife stands by him, she must have been really bad.

[Sloth]

Sounds like a model family all around.

[Jagman]

You may be a redneck if...

[ShadowDancer]

I'm betting you're pretty big on Time Out's too.

[word_warrior_bob]

I'm not sure if you mean that you agree with hitting a baby.

[ShadowDancer]

Depends on the age, which wasn't given.

[Wheee The People]

So what's the problem...In-laws are fair game.

[Palladin]

Watch Granny do the Electric Slide!

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

"Depends on the age, which wasn't given."
I heard on the radio here, 9 months.

The two had gotten into an argument after she accused him of child abuse for swatting his baby son on his diapered bottom. He said he did that to keep the boy from grabbing some electrical wires.

A bit of irony there in the electric wires/grandma-zapper thing...

[bannie]

Smack their hands when they're little, and you won't have to beat the crap outta' them when they're bigger.

:-)

[BBell]

"He should have called the cops and let THEM zap her;)"

My first laugh of the day!

[ShadowDancer]

Good Lord, no I would not spank a nine month old.

[Yardstick]

Sounds like a model family all around.

The family that tazes together stayzes together.

[EveningStar]

Slightly more detailed article.

[EveningStar]

ping

[Howlin]

Hold on, I'm a mother in law now..........LOL.

[WV Mountain Mama]

Sounds like grandma is nuttier than squirrel $hit and had it coming.

[EveningStar]

Get a rubber suit. :)

[EveningStar]

lol

[Larry Lucido]

So will he be charged with battery?

[EveningStar]

And locked up in a dry cell?

[Howlin]

Shocking, isn't it?

[ShadowDancer]

My mother in law makes that one from Everyone Loves Raymond look like Gidget. You cannot be like that.

[ShadowDancer]

LOL. You're all idiots.

[Howlin]

ROFLMAO...I just this week said to my husband that she reminds me of HIS mother! And he agreed with me!

And, no, I am a good MIL. Once you have a bad one, you get the picture.

[ShadowDancer]

Once you have a bad one, you get the picture.

You bet you do. It gets seared into your brain like a cattle prod over and over and over again.

[JRios1968]

"Oh, Grandmaaaa...can you come here?"

"In a flash, dearie..."

[al baby]

My granny used to get lit up too but i think it was different

[Howlin]

I'll give you one example and see if you can beat it:

The day my sister died, she called to the house and asked to speak to my husband; when I said he was asleep because he was exhausted and upset, she said (without a so much as a breathe), "Why, it's not like she was in his family."

Your turn.

[ShadowDancer]

This is the retirement complex my mother in law lives in.

[bannie]

I was a bad MIL to the first--because he deserved it.

I'm a great friend to my second SIL.

[Larry Lucido]

Just think. If this was Michigan, he would be tried in circuit court.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

ROFLMAO! My first big LOL of the day. And it's already 6:22pm!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

"And he said if he had it to do over again, he wouldn't."

Swat the baby, or shock Granny? ;)

[ShadowDancer]

I don't know that I could beat it but I could tie it for sure but it's way too personal to type here. I'm thinking we may have the same mother in law.

[bannie]

Did the MIL call the SWAT team?

(Ok, that one was weak, but you guys already took the good ones.)

[ShadowDancer]

Okay, don't you have an ambulance to chase or something?

[Howlin]

In fairness I should say that in the last couple of years, since we moved here to Raleigh, she's been much better, and was very supportive when my mother was sick.

[Howlin]

LOL.......oh, that is bad.

We don't call them "the outlaws" for nothing!
