CHUBBUCK — A 26-year-old Fort Hall man was arrested Tuesday night after police say he stole from Walmart and was tased twice by officers while resisting.

Chubbuck police said they were dispatched to the Walmart on Yellowstone Avenue around 9:40 p.m. Tuesday for the report of a man who had stolen from the store.

Upon arrival, police came into contact with the man, later identified as Terrance T. Appenay, and he immediately began to flee on foot toward a nearby convenience store, according to police.

Officers tased Appenay once and he then began to listen to their commands, police said. However, once officers attempted to place him in handcuffs he began resisting again, resulting in officers tasing him a second time, police said.

Appenay was subsequently arrested without further incident. Pocatello Fire Department paramedics were dispatched to the scene and medically cleared him before he was transported to the Bannock County Jail in Pocatello.

Appenay faces one count of petit theft and one count of resisting and obstructing, both misdemeanors, as a result of the incident.
