Man allegedly tased in argument over rent

A Shelbyville bail bondsman was charged with aggravated assault Wednesday night after allegedly tasing a man in a dispute over rent payments, Shelbyville police said.

The victim arrived at the Bedford County Sheriff's Department with a probe embedded in his lower abdomen and a "place" on his chest where another probe had been, Officer Sam Jacobs said. Jacobs was told the probes were from a Taser shot by "Carlos the bondsman."

Juan Carlos Alvarado, 47, of Cy Thomas Road was arrested and posted $5,000 bond, police and Bedford County Jail records indicate.

The victim told police an argument erupted when Alvarado arrived at his Vine Street home "irate" over a late rent payment and said he was going to have him evicted.

"Carlos was yelling at him and he (the victim) started yelling back," Jacobs said in his report. "Carlos produced a Taser gun and pulled the trigger.

"When the electric shock was over with, he (the victim) grabbed the wires and broke them."

Alvarado allegedly told the victim he was going to tase him again, drawing a response that he'd have to get another gun because the one he had would do him no good.

The probe from the victim's abdomen was kept by police for evidence, according to the report.
