A drunken golf fan got the shock of his life Friday when cops Tasered him after he refused to stop heckling Tiger Woods on the 11th hole of The Players Championship. Travis Parmelee, 36, of Jacksonville, Fla., was charged with disorderly intoxication and resisting arrest, officials said. Security guards at the Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., tournament told Parmelee to stop yelling several times before calling the sheriff, who dispatched deputies to make an arrest. Capt. Dave Messenger said officers attempted to calm Parmelee down, but he became more combative. When they tried to take Parmelee into custody, he resisted - and was Tasered once. Messenger said Parmelee had been drinking. Woods made the cut after the second round of the Players Championship, shooting a 70 the first round and a 71 the second round. He was nine strokes back from the lead. The ruckus came four days after a Philadelphia police officer Tasered a teenager who rushed the outfield during a Phillies game at Citizens Bank Park. Foolish fan Steve Consalvi, 17, went down like a sack of potatoes when zapped. Some Phillies players covered their faces with their gloves and appeared to be laughing at the wild scene. Consalvi later was able to walk off the field - with some help - and was charged with criminal trespassing.

Drunk, fat and stupid is no way to go through life.
Doesn't mean that you should be tasered. There were belligerent drunk fans in the past at any given sporting event. Cops used to have to deal with them as human beings and not as walking targets for shiny new electronic gizmos.
