POLICE IN TYBEE ALSO ARE TASER HAPPY

On Friday night ,Clifford Grevemberg, a lanky 18-year-old was arrested by Tybee police on a disorderly conduct charge in front of the Rock House on 16th Street.
He says he was Tased twice and thrown to the ground, breaking one of his front teeth and leaving scrapes on
his face and knee.
But Grevemberg, who suffers from a form of autism, still wants to know what he did wrong.
“I just wanted to go to sleep,” the 6-foot-9-inch tall, 170-pound teenager said Saturday. “I sat down on the curb and put my head in my arms, and they stopped me.”
Tybee police officials could not be reached for comment Saturday, despite multiple attempts. Phone messages left for Tybee Chief James Price went unanswered, and a Tybee Police dispatcher said no one could comment on the issue until Monday morning.  cops get tasers and start to get ichy trigger fingers.

AIRPLANE LANDS ON TYBEE ISLAND IN GEORGIA

An amateur pilot from Arkansas has been arrested after landing a small plane on the Tybee Island beach for recreation, according to police.
The single-engine, two-seat aircraft touched sand on Tybee's north end about noon. Two occupants casually climbed out for a walk on the beach, police Lt. Jonathan Hagan said.

"There was nothing mechanically wrong with the plane - they just landed to visit the beach for the day," Hagan said. "It was strictly for pleasure."

The pilot, identified as Mark Jensen, 36, of Arkansas, was arrested on charges of reckless conduct and operating a motorized craft on the beach, Hagan said.
Jensen's mother, the passenger, was not charged.
The pair reported that they'd landed similarly on other beaches in the past.
