BREWTON, Ala. (AP) — An argument between co-workers at the Escambia County Jail led to the firing of a jail supervisor. Sheriff Grover Smith said John Moncrease was dismissed for firing a Taser at 29-year-old Sudan Nelson, striking him in the leg.

According to a press release from Chief Deputy John Gleaton, the incident happened March 19th and Moncrease was fired the next day.

Smith said the argument stemmed from a weeks-long dispute over compact discs that Nelson brought to work. He said Moncrease, who was charged with 3rd-degree assault, apparently was upset that Nelson failed to respond to his questions about the CDs.
Nelson was treated and released from a local hospital.

Tasers are electrical stun guns that shoot volts of electricity through a person's body. They are used to immobilize suspects.
