According to eyewitnesses, at around 10 o'clock PM, a police officer pulled over bicyclist Diana at Southeast Seventh and Morrison to issue her a citation for not having a bike light.
While the officer was writing the ticket, Reverend Phil came riding down the street, also without a light on his bicycle.
The officer then allegedly tackled Reverend Phil, pinned him against the wall, and tasered him multiple times.
