Provo » A Brigham Young University student has been arrested on suspicion of using a stun gun on a woman and trying to handcuff her.

Stetson Hallam was booked Thursday night into the Utah County jail on third-degree felony charges of aggravated assault and attempted kidnapping.

The 20-year-old BYU sophomore is accused of pinning the 19-year-old woman to the ground and trying to handcuff her after incapacitating her with a stun gun Tuesday at an apartment complex where both live.

Investigators say she bit down on his finger until he let her go and apologized, claiming it was all an April Fool's joke.

Police say he had pursued the woman romantically, but she had no interest in him. They also say he was the woman's home teacher in their Mormon church ward.

This is correct classification of using a torture device and attempting an unwarranted arrest. But if an "only one" does it, it's called "department policy".

The guy is probably, just a little awkward around women.  His old man was probably on his case to start getting his collection of wives together.
