Only on Eyewitness News 4, an elderly man is on the phone with 911 when he's Tased by a Sandoval County Sheriff's deputy during a traffic stop. Kenneth Lucas, 76, has been charged with disobeying an officer and reckless driving from the incident. He appeared in court Tuesday. Lucas says he didn't do anything wrong to be pulled over, let alone Tased and arrested. He fears he could have died if both prongs of the Taser had latched correctly. "Get back in the vehicle, close the door. Get back in the car, close the door. Get back in the car, close the door. Get back in the car. Get down. Get down. Get on the ground," Sandoval County Deputy Gilbert Sanchez can be overheard shouting on lapel camera video shot during the October 2010 traffic stop. "He just shot me," Lucas is overheard saying to an open cell phone he dropped during the encounter with the deputy. Lucas was on the phone with 911 when he was Tased.
