Dumb Criminals: After Gettng Tazed, High Speed Pursuit Suspect Keeps On Drivin'

SALEM, N.H. (AP) — An unruly driver zapped with a stun gun during a traffic stop yanked out the barbs, assaulted the officer and fled early Saturday, prompting a two-state pursuit that also led him to steal a police cruiser and threaten to shoot officers, authorities said.

The fracas began shortly after midnight in Salem, in southern New Hampshire, when Officer Adam Pearson pulled over 52-year-old Robert Zygarowski, of Ellwood City, Pennsylvania, for a traffic stop. Police say Zygarowski was uncooperative so Pearson shocked him with the stun gun.

Police gave this account of what happened next:

Zygarowski pulled out the barbs, assaulted Pearson, then jumped in his car and sped away, beginning a chase that ended when his tire blew in Lawrence, Massachusetts. When Pearson ordered Zygarowski and two others out of the car, Zygarowski charged at the officer and fled in the marked cruiser.
