Tasered suspect in critical condition in Omaha
An Omaha man was hospitalized in critical condition yesterday after police deployed a Taser while trying to take him into custody. The suspect is identified as 21-year-old James Barnes. Barnes had warrants and police say officers went to his home at 2860 Manderson to locate him at 9:50 Tuesday morning. They say the front door was open and the house appeared to be abandoned. The officers entered the house and found Barnes hiding behind a door. While trying to take him into custody police say the Taser was deployed as Barnes jumped through a closed window and fell to the ground. Barnes was taken to the Nebraska Medical Center in critical condition with an injury that police say could potentially be life threatening.
