Officer in Taser UCLA Incident Has Past of Physical Confrontations

HeadlineNov 22, 2006

In Los Angeles, in new developments in the case of last week’s Taser incident at UCLA, authorities have revealed the campus police officer who repeatedly shocked an Iranian-American student with a Taser stun gun has a history of physical confrontation with civilians. The officer, Terrence Duren, shot a homeless man on campus three years ago and was once recommended for dismissal over an alleged assault. One week ago, Duren shocked UCLA senior Mostafa Tabatabainejad five times after the student failed to produce a student ID while studying in the library.
