A Victorian police officer is found guilty by a court over the use of a taser during an arrest in Warragul. Multiple reports say the officer tasered a suspect nine times, with the incident occurring during police contact as the suspect was being restrained. The accounts also reference language used by the officer during the arrest, including instructions to place the suspect’s hands behind their back or face being “sprayed.” The coverage across outlets characterizes the conviction as relating to the officer’s actions and the number of taser shocks delivered during the encounter. The reports do not provide additional procedural details such as the exact charges, the court’s reasoning, or whether an appeal is lodged. Overall, the agreed facts across sources are that the officer has been found guilty and that nine taser discharges occurred during the Warragul arrest, along with the cited instruction to the suspect during the incident.
