Retired truck driver Bud Grose of Glenrock told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Wednesday that he was OK after being tased by police over a weekend incident, but is consulting with an attorney.

"Yes, it hurt, but it didn't put me down or cause me any reason to go to a doctor," Grose said. "But I am 76, and I have a heart condition."

The incident occurred during the annual Deer Creek Days event in Glenrock.

Police used a Taser on Grose, who was riding an antique tractor in a parade, after he allegedly disobeyed police orders and the tractor hit a car.

But Grose said a 9-year-old boy - the son of an acquaintance - was actually behind the wheel of the 1958 John Deere tractor, while Grose sat on a fender regulating its speed and clutch.

Grose said the tractor was pulling a four-wheeled wagon that carried three women sitting on chairs inside and was near the end of the parade route when the incident occurred. He said he would not discuss more specifics until he speaks to his attorney.

Glenrock Police Chief Tom Sweet placed two officers on paid leave and asked the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation to investigate the incident, according to a department news release. Police said the officers don't appear to have violated the department's policies and that no charges had been filed, but a review of pertinent policies and an internal investigation will be done after the state completes its investigation.

The release said there would be no other details pending the outcome of the state investigation.

The findings of the state investigation will be turned over to Converse County Attorney Quentin Richardson and the Glenrock Police Department.
