A security incident occurred a few weeks ago at the University of Florida during a visit by former presidential candidate and U.S. Senator John Kerry. During a question-and-answer period, a member of the audience, Andrew Meyer, was asking Kerry a question when the campus police intervened, tackled the student, administered a taser gun electronic shock, and arrested him. The protester spent a night in jail before being charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. The incident achieved minor public notoriety via the Internet.”]
