Video: UFC fighter TASERed by police, arrested after pursuit

The former fighter ignored multiple commands to get on the ground, insisting the officers show some ID

KEKALB COUNTY, Ind. — The wife of a famed UFC fighter posted a video online which has since gone viral showing the arrest of her husband by Indiana police.

Dave Herman, his wife Madeleine, and their child were travelling on the highway at a high rate of speed with no headlights or tail lights when officers attempted to stop their vehicle, according to DeKalb County police.

Madeleine claims on the video that the couple was having car trouble and turned their hazards on, and Herman continued to drive for three miles after officers attempted to stop him because he was searching for a “well-lit area.”

Herman eventually pulled into a gas station parking lot and quickly exited his vehicle, in what police described as an ‘aggressive manner.’

Police say Herman ignored several commands to stand down and get on the ground before officers deployed a TASER and placed him under arrest.

Herman can be heard on the video asking cops for identification and yelling “I don’t know you! Who are you?”

Herman is being charged with multiple felonies including resisting arrest, battery against law enforcement and neglect of a dependant.
