THE RECORD

RIDGEWOOD — A 48-year-old village man wearing only a cowboy hat and brandishing a bottle was subdued by police with a stun gun and then appeared to suffer a seizure Thursday morning, Chief John Ward said.

Craig Andrews allegedly ignored repeated commands to stop and kept coming closer to the officers and the residents of a house he is accused of burglarizing, Ward said. Officers used a Taser to arrest him and a few minutes later, he appeared to suffer a seizure. Ward does not believe the seizure was caused by the stun gun.

“He was up and talking to us after the Taser, conversed with us, gave us his name and address and everything else,” Ward said.

Andrews was treated at Valley Hospital and released.
