Rajneel Maharaj,35, was acquitted of uttering threats and assaulting two police officers during what began as a wellness check and ended with him being Tasered by both officers.
A 35-year-old Burnaby man Tasered twice by police in his own home during an "unlawful arrest" has been acquitted of threatening and assaulting the officers.
She said Maharaj had called 911 while he was intoxicated, and he was "not making much sense to the dispatcher."At one point, after a female family member accused him of being drunk, Maharaj made "physical contact" with her. But Rolland never told Maharaj the reason for the impending arrest, making it unlawful, according to Denhoff.
Duchesne-Read had told the court it was "impossible" to say if the blow that hit him was intentional, as Maharaj's arms were "flailing in the scuffle," according to Denhoff."He had just been Tasered, which the officers testified impacts an individual's neurological system," she said.
