CHEHALIS – A Randle teenager is locked up after a dispute with his neighbor last night in which he reportedly went to the door with a stun gun and zapped the neighbor in the face when he answered.
Deputies called to the 100 block of Morris Road just before 7 p.m. were told the two had been arguing earlier and the 17-year-old threatened the 50-year-old man with the stun gun, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. The man chased the boy away with an axe, according to the sheriff’s office.
Chief Civil Deputy Stacy Brown said it wasn’t yet clear to her what the disagreement was about.
Brown said she understood the 17-year-old later went to the neighbor’s door and when the 50-year-old opened the door, he was shocked in the face. The boy pushed the man into the residence, continuing to shock him and began to stab him with what was described as a blunt metallic object.
The two fought and the older man was able to gain control of the situation, Brown said. The 17-year-old was later located and booked into the Lewis County Juvenile Detention Center, she said.
The injuries are not severe, according to Brown. The victim is missing a tooth and sustained several scrapes from the metallic object, she said.
The teen had a bloody nose and a cut on his forehead, she said.
