Tripping "Terminator" arrested
On Tuesday, Sean Stanley Smith, 19, ran around Lake Tahoe's casino arcade naked until police subdued him with a taser. They arrested him for indecent exposure. According to the Record Courier, "He reportedly told officers he had ingested marijuana and LSD, and was running naked because he thought he was 'the Terminator.'" He'll be back.

what a good idea; apply high voltage electric shocks to a person on unknown drugs.
I think this incident makes a good case for placing legal restrictions on the viewing of James Cameron movies.
Indecent exposure? What's so wrong with being naked? Is not a casino much more indecent than nudity?
It's not like he could be accused of stealing chips.
Happy Independence Day.
"He'll be back."
When he runs for governor of California.
Whatever happened to only using tasers in situations which warrant deadly force and the use of a gun? Perhaps this offer had just seen the movie Observe and Report?
> It's not like he could be accused of stealing chips.
Oh, yes he could.
"Whatever happened to only using tasers in situations which warrant deadly force and the use of a gun?"
Someone high on PCP is capable of doing a lot of damage whether he's naked or not. The officer may have felt there was no choice with children around.
There weren't any children around...It was a casino o_o.
.
Public nudity. Under the influence of multiple controlled substances. Failure to lose large quantities of money at casino.
Those are three serious violations of the Mafia Code right there. He'll be lucky if he don' get f**kin' WHACKED. He's LUCKY da cops got 'um.
But if he was the real Terminator, those cops are in some deep doo-doo.
*NOTE: In case you haven't seen it, "Terminator" is a movie about a robot from the future who acts like a human being, as opposed to the new Star Trek movie, which is about a bunch of human beings from the future acting like robots.*

what a good idea; apply high voltage electric shocks to a person who may be THE TERMINATOR!
congrats nanuq!
You have combined the "I had to shoot him, he might have been PCP zombie" and "oh,lordy think of the children" as the ultimate all purpose justification for use of deadly force on a temporarily deranged naked kid.
I know ooodles of folks who have gotten naked in public for whatever reason(or drug), but i don't know anyone who has done PCP.
Btw has anyone tried peeling back his skin to verify that he isn't a terminator? You never know how a causality loop might get started...
Pics or it didn't happen.
LSD?! Hope springs eternal. We really need a "Discovery Zone' for adults.

Children around.
They had the stun gun out well before he entered the arcade
Stun guns are being used as bother a tool of threat to enforce the cops wishes or more frequently... punishment by different departments.

call it what it is, Flip: police torture.
There's no way the dude was on LSD. LSD does not miraculously turn you into a stupid idiot, and does not make you more of a stupid idiot if you already are one.
At least they stopped short of crushing him in a hydraulic press.
you all know where it comes from:

Your clothes. Give them to me.
@9,
Wish I had said that. :-)
==================
Why did they Taser him? Since casinos are debauched places, probably because they thought it would briefly amuse the patrons.
Do I like casinos? Take a wild guess...
Can someone get some marijuana and LSD to Summer Glau? Please?
@ #17: Going to go ahead and disagree with you there, anon. LSD most definitely makes you much more of a stupid idiot if you already are one. We once had a sound engineer who showed all the symptoms of mild idiocy. A tab of midwestern Atari acid later, he was convinced he could see the electrical impulses traveling along the MIDI and audio cables to and from the keyboards, drum machines, and PA. We explained to him the phenomenon of synaesthesia, but he was having none of it, and proceeded to run up and down the hallway of the apartment complex, beating on doors and demanding to see all the electrical fields in the apartment in order to track down the one appliance responsible for the ever-present 60-cycle hum in our wall of gear. Eventually, the police were called and subsequently, he violated one of the three basic tenets of LSD use: 1-Fire burns, 2-cars are real, and 3-cops and acid don't mix.
Fatty McDonut no longer receives training in non-lethal force *except* to use a Taser. Happy 4th of July.
Hey mister. Didja see a real briiiiight liiiiiight?

Sigh events like this give acid a bad rep. Dumbass kid scores some acid, decides to get "fucked up", and goes crazy.
@ Subheight640
"events like this give acid a bad rep"
I agree. We just don't deem attention-worthy all of the events that give alcohol a bad reputation since they're so common. Do a google news search for 'alcohol' and the hits include:
- Alcohol found inside car that killed woman, toddler in Tri-State crash
- Alcohol Blamed In Adair Co. Fatality Accident
- Woman drowns in Douglas Lake, alcohol believed to be a factor
- 2 critical after car wreck involving alcohol near ASU
One that you won't find is
- Man arrested for indecent exposure was high on alcohol
That's typically because it just goes without saying.

can't believe this hasn't been posted yet.
Getting tased while on acid must kinda suck.
I swear to God this happened to me:
I used to live one floor above a paranoid bodybuilding speed addict and his fiancee. After he had a solid month of meth and basically no sleep he told us he'd discovered we ARE all stuck in the matrix. He used to press his hands against walls for hours as he tried to push his hands through the green numbers, which he claimed he could see at will. He got so paranoid I'd sometimes come home to find he'd climbed into my window to escape the agents. Eventually he caught his girlfriend transforming into an agent and tried to strangle her, but she was able to get out of there and call the cops on him.
That was one of the more fucked up months in my life, but I remember being awed the whole time that a movie can be good enough to do that to someone's head. It got me thinking the ultimate compliment to a artist is to create world other people can get completely lost in.
Lucky he did not try to terminate some random punter!
p.s. I could swear that's Christian Slater as one of the punks in that movie (the one with the tire tread on his face), but he's not credited as such anywhere.
