Authorities say Police were called to the parking lot of Tiger Lanes at around 1-a.m. Sunday, in reference to what was believed to be a domestic dispute. When the officer arrived a male later identified as 30-year old Michael Cox, of Lenox, was uncooperative, confrontational and involved in a dispute with a female.

Cox is allegedly to have repeatedly failed to respond to the officers directions, forcing the officer to deploy his taser. Cox was taken into custody and transported to the Taylor County Jail, where he was charged with disorderly conduct and public intoxication.
