TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- A 40-year-old man walking his dog in the nude was Tasered by police when he refused to follow an officer's commands.

David McCranie of the Tallahassee Police Department says an officer on patrol spotted the man shortly after 8 p.m. Friday.

The man was asked what he was doing and told the officer, "Allah told me to watch a Bruce Willis movie and walk the dog,"McCranie said.

McCranie said using the Taser was the only way to subdue the man without having to hurt him. The man was then sent for mental-health evaluation and treatment.

Did they really need to taze this guy? He's obviously not all there. And what did they do with the dog? This tazing craze is really getting out of hand.
