The deputies who tasered a man multiple times during a rural Colorado traffic stop last November aren\u2019t deputies anymore. The Las Animas County Sheriff\u2019s Office fired those men Monday. They had pulled over Nate Espinoza and his dad last year. Nate says he was pulled over for allegedly \u201cdriving too close\u201d to the deputies\u2019 cars. His dad, Ken, stopped his own truck a few feet away to wait for his son. The deputies told him to leave the scene. But then when he tried to, they suddenly ordered him to stop. Video from the moments that followed show them handcuffing him, and hitting him with the jolts of a taser multiple times. The Pueblo County Sheriff\u2019s Office recommended those former deputies\u2019 firings, and called for a criminal probe of the incident. The Espinozas have filed a federal lawsuit against Las Animas County. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
