Police Officer Ronald Dupuis was charged with assault and battery against a fellow police officer after firing a taser gun at her after an argument. A police report indicates that Dupuis and his partner, Prema Graham, began arguing after Dupuis demanded she stop the patrol car at a convenience store so he could purchase a soft drink. Graham wanted to get back to the police station and drove past the store. At some point, the pair began arguing and struggling in the vehicle.
Dupuis was fired a week after the incident.
