PORT ST. LUCIE — A man who was arrested earlier this month for threatening his mother with a Samurai sword was arrested last night for tasering her.

He had been drinking and became belligerent, she said. She said the electronic was her personal taser.

Beider then wrestled the taser away from her, she said, and he tasered her in the her left elbow.

The woman said she then fell to the ground and Beider kicked her four times.

Beider was arrested at his Port St. Lucie home on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery and obstruction of justice.
