Lawsuit: Police used stun gun on suspect 11 times

A man and his wife are suing a Phoenix suburb and three of its police officers, alleging they used excessive force during a 2017 traffic stop.

A lawyer for the couple said Glendale police body camera video shows officers using a stun gun 11 times on Johnny Wheatcroft after he questioned why he had to provide identification.

Glendale officials and the police department didn’t immediately return requests for comment on the lawsuit Sunday.
