How many airmen does it take to arrest an 81-year-old preacher?

Four, apparently — plus a Taser.

Airmen from the 354th Security Forces Squadron at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, used a Taser on an elderly man on Oct. 29 after the man allegedly resisted arrest and assaulted one of the airmen during a routine traffic stop.

The airmen gave chase and got Wilcox to pull over once again, according to the News-Miner, but he refused to get out of his car.

When he did finally get out of the car and the airmen tried to handcuff him, he allegedly resisted arrest and pushed one of the airmen. After warning him several times, the paper reported, one of the airmen used a Taser on Wilcox to subdue him.

unhappycamper comment: This tasing of an 81-year-old man proves that Eielson airmen are p**ssies.
