J. Rambo allows plaintiff to seek damages against a township police officer who allegedly shot him multiple times in the chest with a taser gun after mistaking him for an intruder in responding to a noise complaint. When the officer found out plaintiff was the occupant, the officer apologized and left, but he returned to cite plaintiff for disorderly conduct, claiming, "I have to give a reason why I fired my taser or I will get in trouble." The officer may not invoke qualified immunity because he failed to prove he had probable cause for using excessive force on an unarmed man who posed no threat to himself or others.
