Man Tasers wife's grandmother

VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) -- A man who zapped his wife's grandmother with a Taser tells a Washington newspaper that if he had it to do over again he wouldn't have used it.

Aaron de Bruyn was arrested after a dispute earlier this week over how to discipline his seven-month-old son.

He gave the baby a swat on his diapered rear-end to stop him from grabbing electrical wires. The wife's grandmother, who was visiting, called that child abuse and said she'd have the child taken away.

That's when de Bruyn told her to leave the house. When she refused, he got out the Taser and gave her a 60-second countdown and then used the stun gun on her right shoulder.

Police say the grandmother was not injured. De Bruyn was arrested and spent a night in jail.
