BROOKSVILLE FLA NOV 2 2008 - Two men, including a suspect who was Tasered in the head, were arrested Wednesday on suspicion of resisting arrest with violence.
Around 5 p.m., Deputy Wayne Peterson was on his way to Coastal Way Shopping Plaza to investigate a possible shoplifting at Linens N' Things. Peterson said he spotted the suspect riding a bicycle in front of Circuit City, so he pulled over to talk.
The suspect, Shaughn Lopez, briefly talked with Peterson before re-mounting his bicycle and attempting to ride away, a report states. Peterson pinned Lopez with his body against a nearby retention wall and attempted to radio for backup, a report states.
Lopez broke free, then tripped and fell nearby. When he stood back up, Lopez was clenching his fists and posturing for a fight, so Peterson fired his stun gun to control him, a report states.
One of the prongs struck Lopez on the right side of the head and the other missed, diminishing the effectiveness of the stun gun, a report states.

It took three cycles of electricity to bring Lopez into submission. In addition to resisting with violence, Lopez, 37, was additionally charged with battery on an officer and resisting arrest without violence. He was not charged with shoplifting.
Earlier Wednesday, around 11 a.m., an off-duty deputy began following a black Nissan that was towing a golf cart reported stolen out of Inverness three weeks ago, a report states.
On-duty deputies were on their way to Foxfire Road to assist when the suspect noticed he was being followed and bailed out of the pickup and ran into the woods, a report states. Deputy Dane Jenkins was one of three deputies who searched the neighborhood and found the suspect, Michael Mavrakis, pacing inside a garage, a report shows.
When Jenkins asked the suspect for identification, Mavrakis attempted to run inside the house so the deputy grabbed him by his T-shirt, a report states. Mavrakis turned and punched Jenkins' left shoulder, so Jenkins used his stun gun to jolt the suspect into submission, a report states.
Mavrakis, 27, was charged with resisting arrest with violence, possession of stolen property, possession of methamphetamine and driving on a suspended license.
