In 2011, Officer Sampson was involved in an incident where he used a Taser on an individual named Witt, who was unarmed and had surrendered. Witt fell, hit his head on a concrete driveway, and was incapacitated. Witt filed a lawsuit alleging excessive force, and the court found that a reasonable jury could conclude that Sampson’s use of the Taser constituted unreasonable and excessive force.
