He ran when another officer tried to handcuff him. Garbacz tased Baldwin as he tried to climb over a fence. Police guidelines say a Taser normally shouldn’t be used when a suspect is elevated above ground, as Baldwin was. He had to be hospitalized. He faces charges of forgery, identity theft, and possession of a fraudulent ID
